Anyone have any experience with Jaxon Hats (sometimes Jaxon and James)?

I've seen a couple of their hats online that look nice (but then, they always do online!). There are a couple of things that make me wonder about them, though. Admittedly, I'm fairly new to hat game, so when I say that these things seem prudent to take note of, it's based on my rather limited experience. So, I've come here to see what you fine folks think. Here's what concerns me:
1. They've only been around since 2003, according to their website.
2. Their hats are rather cheaply priced but seem to get good reviews.
3. The crest inside just says Jaxon, but the website says Jaxon and James.
4. Neither founder was named either Jaxon or James.
5. They size their hats S, M, L, etc. instead of by (what I consider) the more typical 7, 7 1/2, etc. or 58, 59, 60.

So, have any of you purchased hats from them, and if so, what do you think of the quality and the value for the money?

My very first hat was a Jaxon & James woolhat. The crushable C-crown. I've had fun with it untill i figured out there where much better hats in the world. Now it's my decorationhat and it's always with me in my car (the worst place to store a hat though ;-)). So for me it all started with J & J and it became a sentimental hat for me personally!

I remember getting one of their fedoras for an Indiana Jones cosplay in 2022. They're decent starter hats if you're on a small budget, but Stetson and Akubra are definitely better if you have enough funds for a relatively low price point.
