Hi Steve --
I was surprised and happy to see my hat waiting at the front door yesterday
when I got home. Until I put it on. Oh, it fit fine ... but then I looked
into a mirror. Imagine seeing the hat from above, holding the brim so that
the front of it points to 12 O'clock. However, the crown -- center crease,
side creases and that crisp ridge down the front -- all point to just before
11 O'clock. About 1 1/2" off to the left. You must have done hundreds of
hats by now. How could you even do that? Especially for what you charge. I'm
stunned indeed.
Some days you just can't win! I of course, emailed him back and explained to him the ways of the Raiders fedora. Hopefully now, he might appreciate this hat a little more. But, I get a feeling he won't. I always turn Raider fedoras UNLESS requested not to do so. One should never assume anything though, and I should not assume that everyone who orders a Raiders fedora, actually knows this hat, like we do here. But, this is the first time this has ever happened to me, and I can see now, that unless the customer is a COW member that I know, I will have to explain the ways of the Raiders fedora when it is ordered. This guy thought I had botched up his hat!! Live and learn I reckon. OH, and he paid 250 for the hat! Fedora
