Hats and Beanies

@JunkPants glad to help, we're all enablers here.

@Graeme those are quite nice! My brother in law loves that style of hat…shoot, I’m really liking it myself.

CFD denim cap came today. Very cool. I love how it's almost slightly off center. You can tell someone made it. Not just a machine. The stitching in the bill is amazing and the cone denim is spot on. Took about 4 weeks to be ordered and delivered at a fair price. Now to put a patch on it as planned?

@CosmoSix5 Is that a snap back or fitted? I like how they’re union made in USA, very cool.

[CosmoSix5]

@Danimal506 snapback. And I think it's one guy lol. He's the union I guess

[Danimal506]

@CosmoSix5 Interesting. I guess he doesn’t have to worry about losing too many decisions by votes Haha

@Graeme I just ordered one of these hats from Michael as a Christmas gift for my brother in law. Thanks a ton for sharing! Really excited to give this to him and check it out first hand!

On a business note, Michael has been pure class to deal with. He showed me pictures of the hides he has so I can choose the one I like the most and the color I prefer. Super nice guy with incredible communication. Couldn't he happier so far!!

@Mizmazzle Really good to know as I’ve been eyeing it as well. Haven’t pulled the trigger yet, but great to hear the feedback!!

Let us know how it turns out.

PS., what the turnaround time?

[Mizmazzle]

@goosehd He said it would be here to Colorado before Christmas. It takes him about four labor hours to make the hats. So not too long to get all in all. He said he'd have it shipped out this week.

@Mizmazzle I'm glad to help, though I'm not sure if your bank balance will.

I look forward to seeing how it turns out.

[Mizmazzle]

Michael completed the hat today (4.5 hours of handcrafted labor) and shipped it out by the end of the German work day.

The order was placed Sunday evening after a very pleasant and detailed discussion of leather, travel, whiskey, and well made things. Monday morning he sent me pictures of the hides he has so we could dial in the color that would best meet my preference, followed by more pleasant communication.

This morning he reached out with photos of the finished hat and had it boxed and ready to ship by days end.

All said, I don’t think a better customer service experience would be possible up to this point.

Brilliant....

[Mizmazzle]

If they look in real life anything like they do in the pics…I’m going to need one for my self.
I told Micheal about the IH forum and that I’d share his impressive work and service. He was pretty stoked about that.

[goosehd]

@Mizmazzle Outstanding all of the way around and thanks for sharing the love.

I am a headwear hoarder, and I just need to say this Outclass recycled cashmere toque is now my all time favorite. Made in Canada with a fit that is on point. Double roll when it's warmer or single roll it when colder. Chef's kiss. Thanks @brooklynclothing

@Mizmazzle
did you receive the cap already?
they look fantastic and I think of getting one .

[Mizmazzle]

@Daniel-San not yet. Hoping it comes any day. The one thing I’m a bit concerned about is he sent them regular postal service without tracking. Makes me a little nervous.
