Very impressive as if it was created for me as royalty! I was impressed with the detail inside and out. I appreciate the time taken to design and create the work of art.
Amazing customer service! Great quality hat, so much better than the garbage the bookstore sells! Fair price for the fantastic quality; held up just fine to an extended downpour.
The website was confusing and the wrong colored tam came in - who ever heard of a turmeric tam??
The quality and custom accuracy is superb
The doctoral tam arrived safely (in my home in the Netherlands) and was a wonderful fit. Beautifully made, I am very pleased with it.
