A distinction probably needs to be made in one's own mind between minor flaws unique to each producer & what is clearly a factory second.
what I saw were mostly things like ... the ribbon tacked too high above the break.... the sweat reed stitched in too low to the point where you put it on and the reed is exposed lower than the brim ... odd uneven stitching in the binding ... stitches that missed the binding all together ... odd looking ribbons that may be too far toward the back of the hat ... felt blemishes ... tolliker marks ... oddly tapered crowns ... etc etc
