Handmade for Belfry

[John the Swede]

What does anyone think of these made (I assume) by Hats in the Belfry in conjunction with Bollman, Stetson, Biltmore etc.? These are deemed "Belfry exclusives," collaborations between HitB and designers from these hat companies. There are a variety, but I'm looking around for fur felts. They seem to be a tad lower price than "originals." Are these any good? Is this something like buying Hercules tires from Cooper instead of Coopers? What's the word on them?

Nobody? I'm considering a Stetson, but is it really a Stetson--or would it be a Belfry?

It's just a Stetson with added branding for Hats in the Belfry.
