Excuse me, I meant it is not as finely pounced as my Biltmores and Stetsons. it is very nicely made, in fact, I was examing the liner, and it is perhaps one of the best i own, with the exception of my Stetson El patron (30X, converted to fedora) and My Biltmore Roselini. Both of those have very nice liners. The sweat and other accessories appear to be first rate also. the wind cord is for looks only.I plan to visit TONAK in the beginning of April. I would think they could still produce very fine felt based on their history (they were Johann Hückel´s Söhne up to the end of WWII)and felt production facility although I am sure the communist years took a major toll. I think they are pretty much in survial mode now (labor costs are too high in the Czech Republic) and need to meet a specific price point. By felted fine what do you mean? Do you mean the finish?
