Looks just like one of those scam/fake sites you see all the time for Barbour and such brands.
By all accounts of those if you order you might receive a fake item or nothing at all.

My favourite part is the shipping terms:

"You have the right to cancel within 100 days, and motivate

Revocation period is by you or third parties authorized by you, this is not the operator, took possession of the date the last 100 days of a project.
"

Logo came from here by the look of it http://www.thehats.org.uk/site/

And looking at the domain name, same person runs www.teknoclimatic.it and a few other sites.

There were two other websites similar to this one within the last couple of months, one in Canada and another in the United Kingdom, which were offering an allegedly huge selection of Borsalinos and Christys all for under $30 apiece. Websites which track these sort of scams identified them as probably actually originating in Russia and China.
They both have since disappeared from the web.

if you are buying modern major manufacturers hats just stick to reputable hat shops

1) to support the industry and the brick and mortar store
2) to rest assured that you are not being scammed
