Unisex Timelessly Classic Manhattan Fedora Hat

Just not the quality I was expecting

The product was crushed

Defective piece delivered No special packaging as detailed in product description It came crumpled and in bad condition

We urgently needed this hat for a costume for a play, but it arrived so badly crushed and badly folded (because it was shipped in a box that was too small) that we are unable to restore its shape and use it at all. Otherwise it seems like a great hat, but sadly unusable because of the poor shipping.

Si se nota la calidad. Un color muy firme

Looks cheap, the fabric is wrinkly and it is not firm, it collapses at the top, not holding shape firmly, the stitches are not neat.

First impressions do matter .....Packing alone was impressive, that was a nice SURPRISE. The hat arrived in a secure box , wrapped completely in tissue paper and placed securely on a hat mold. The hat band had a protective wrap around it. It's a GREAT feeling to see such attention put in the packing alone. Before it was even out of the box, I was already pleased with my purchase! It's GREAT to do business with a company that delivers on these details. It isn't seen often enough these days. Now to the actual product, the hat fit perfectly, even with my thick hair, but does have adjustable strings to tighten, if necessary, and also included were two padded/adhesive strips. Other adults in my household tried on the hat too, and it needed no adjustments, it fit us all great. It does have a nice high dimpled crown and narrow brim. It's a handsome, comfortable hat. The material looks GREAT, I ordered black, and the color is rich looking. I thought the price was very good for a hat that looks this exceptionally well made. I could not find one defect, again, this doesn't happen often these days. I am very satisfied with the care in packing and COMPLETELY satisfied with the great quality of the "Simplicity" Fedora hat.

Circa 1987, I walked into a TOTES outlet store in Pennsylvania Dutch country and bought a collapsible "rain hat" for a mere ten bucks. I then wore that hat relentless for decades, seldom without it and never traveling without it. The hat was central to some of my most treasured adventures. For example, while hiking the northern extremes of Scotland with my wife, a gust of wind tore the hat from my head and hurled it into a flock of sheep. I shoved sheep ashide feverishly, until I finally saw the hat. Just then, another gust of wind took the hat airborne and propelled it toward a cliff over hanging the North Sea. I leapt and tackled my cherished rain hat, just yards from a precipitous doom. Over time, my head conformed to the shape of the hat, such that no other hat felt right. But I didn't care, because I had no desire for other hats. And I didn't care what people thought, when atop my gob I sported the old, stained, and threadbare remains of my dearest companion. All too soon, my beloved rain hat would no longer spring back after being crushed in a suitcase. Then the lining turned to dust and fell out, followed by the headband. Only then did I come out of denial and admit that I must find a new hat. After a suitable period of mourning, I embarked on my new quest. I squandered much time and money amassing a great collection of impressive hats, most made from the finest felts, in the latest styles. In an effort to alleviate my pain, friends and family bought me hat after hat. But no hat could fill the hole left in my life by the demise of my dear rain hat. Until now... The Simplicity Unisex Timelessly Classic Manhattan hat looks remarkably like my dear old TOTES rain hat. Both are Trilby style (narrow brim) with Fedora pretenses (high dimpled crown). Both are made from a wool-ish material that repels water, which is perfect for a rain hat. Both have remarkably low prices. The one I received is darker than the Amazon photo, but that's fine with me, because it's exactly like my old hat. Even more important, however, is the fact that the hat under review actually fits my fat XL head and is very lightweight, such that it feels like the old TOTES hat. Thank you Simplicity Unisex for restoring order to my world. I look forward to many new adventures in the new hat. P.S. You do realize this is all tongue in check, right? Cheers!
