It's a nice hat, why not have a better sweat put in?

 

[Historyteach24]

Bond may sound silly but I am really mad about it and feel that it should have been done right the first time since it took 6 months plus. So I am willing to pass it along to someone who would like it and use the money towards some vintage or maybe even towards a down payment on a special custom. It is a VERY nice hat.

This would cost 190 after shipping and binding cost. I want 150 shipped and you wont have to wait 6 months!

So, did the sweat start out looking normal? How long 'til it changed? Did FP offer to replace it? Too many questions, I know. I'm just curious.

Every band I have ever seen from him have ripples. After a few months started to show Wear and backbow fell off

IMHO that is absolutely unacceptable in a custom hat, and you waited six months to take delivery? My dollars will go else where.

Yes Tom that is why I am frustrated

Try one of Art F's "Joey" lids. I've never seen or heard of him letting a hat go out like that.

I hear you! But at $265, his nutria are now at least within striking distance ($275 Rabbit), and you get HIS craftsmanship.
