This hat has been nothing but trouble. I bought it from Casey (Never Again) Dazell. I gave very specific instructions on the size and blocking that he completely ignored.
I took it to Texas Hatters and they let it sit in the back room and get filthy with lacquer and felt dust. I took it away from them and gave it to Peters Bros in Ft. Worth.
They sewed in a sweatband and did some pretty rough blocking on it. They did OK work, but not really precise and crisp like Art or Graham.
I've since touched it up with the tea kettle and think it's a bearable, but not great, hat.
