What hat are you waiting for today?

I saw this company. Are they the real deal? Quality? Prices are absurdly low for some hats there.

Someone else mentioned them here, so I wasn't flying completely in the dark when I ordered my hat. I must say, I'm very pleased with the result. It's got a great hand, the fur felt is supple and the fit is right on. I suspect their prices are low due to a number of factors:

1) They're in Poland, where I surmise labor and material costs are cheaper. I was told that's the case for rabbit fur.
2) The brimmed hats are a very small segment of their product line. They cater to the tastes of the European hat-wearing crowd, so I imagine a lot of their business is in caps and berets.
3) They've been in business since 1926 and are family-owned. I suspect they have long-established relationships with suppliers.

At the prices they list, I'm most definitely going to order another. I think I'll go for something with a wider brim. I'd jump on a grey, but the grey they show is almost black. Maybe brown...
