Baron Hats: Review

For what it's worth...

On the 15th of July I took my Tan Open Road to Baron's for a cleaning/blocking up one size and a new sweatband as the old one had dryed and rotted with age.

I was told it would take a couple weeks. After 3 weeks I called them. No dice.
5 weeks later I finally get it back.

The cleaning is fine.
The blocking is fine.

I requested a brown band because that is what was being taken out and I like the vintage look of the brown bands. I got it back with a black one in it.

After the hat was cleaned and blocked the liner was glued in crooked!

I didnt complain because I wanted the hat for a trip to Mexico that I was leaving on two days later.

Do what you will with this information but for me I will never again give these guys any business.

Too bad, this place is only 10 minutes from my house.

Did I mention, the guy behind the counter would obviously rather be somewhere else than helping a customer?!

Think I'll send my work to Art from now on.

Sorry that you had trouble with them . As I understand , they've been around a while but the work seems to be slipping a bit . Art is definately the way to go . I wish he were in New York . I'd keep him busy all day with repair work .
