Watching this one for the past 5 years! Finally pulled the trigger. It`s what I expected - a soft, tapered Borsalino, impressed by the quality of the leather band. Much stronger than my Claudio. Very well executed. Great service from Bencraft.
Does anyone know where they are moving the manufacturing to? I guess that customers will no longer be able to get a glimpse of the hat making - or was that ever the case, not having visited the shop?
I have a definite opinion on an under welt - its personal, but for some unknown reason its the wrong way round. I just think a hat looks better with an over welt. It could be that it has something to do with the hidden part - I prefer to see the turn-up, rather than have is like a hidden hem, is...
It`s been a while...one of my summer hats needed some work on, and I decided to call upon the services of the master hatter. What a pleasure - a new sweatband and ribbon later, it feels like the old days...everything done to perfection, and with the service of an utter professional...Thanks Art!
