Is that the same brown that they have for the Dillinger hat on their website, or did you order it in a different shade of brown?
Tone said:You should have seen the non-edited version before. Just that it's kind of disturbing to see that your overall assessment is one of satisfaction with the product though you're happy to leave a negative spin on the company overall. It seems a "smidge" contrived and we already know how many people are eager to jump on the smear Baron's campaign simply out of blind allegiance. From the sounds of it Baron's did well by you despite the timeframe (which, if you look at some hatters, it's nothing so different that the others haven't had issues with as well). It just seems odd to find an approval of the end product with a lingering, "Won't do business with them again" summation. And nice looking hat, btw.

I'd be hella pissed if I ordered one of these from a vendor and it came in a different color. :rage:
Can't go wrong with the company that actually made Depp's "Dillinger" hats for the movie.
Optimo.

The Baron "reproduction" has an interesting block shape, but looks very little like the actual film hat, even if it were in the right color (which clearly, it is not).
