Side by Side Comparison of: Sakkas vs D-ling

I have three, black, brown and red. I wear hats all the time, straw in summer and felt in winter. It is true these are not "quality" as in expensive hand made like my dad wore. But these look and fit great. I work in the luxury auto industry, and it is windy all the time. I wear hats for style and to protect the hair. I like the fedora look, not a cloche style. I love a smaller brim and these are perfect for that. However!Shipping is as described. It is bad. Not sure why the seller hasn't paid attention as everyone has reported it that way. They arrive with the top crushed, they do straighten but you can still see the lines. I am going to email the seller to see if they will respond with bigger boxes. Otherwise these are great, style, color and quality for price.

Bought this on a lightening deal and was pleasantly surprised. I purchased the gray and it is exactly as pictured, very nice material, lined and well made. The measurements for the small size matched my head measurement, but the hat is just a bit to large, I would not want to wear it in the wind, but since it does not come in a smaller size I will certainly keep it and enjoy wearing it this winter.The only down side is that when it was packed it was "crammed" into a box that was to small so it had some odd dents etc. I reshaped the hat with newspapers and heated it with a hairdryer to reshape and I think it will be fine.

I own a lot of hats. I'm partial to Santana's collection so I'm used to paying in the high range.I bought this hat, not expecting much for $17, and many of the reviews described the hat as more of a costume piece. So I was pleasantly surprised when I received the hat and found it was solidly made, and looked good even up close. I've worn the hat in the rain, and it does a fine job keeping my head dry without damaging the hat.I'm so pleased with the hat I'm going to see if Sakkas makes other styles and materials.

I originally bought this hat for a Halloween costume thinking this would be the only time I would wear it.., and even though "knowing" this would be the only time wearing it, I didn't want a cheap "costume" hat. When it arrived I was more than surprised, I felt like Wow, I have something that looks admirable. I tried it on, fit was great, looked great and I thought, what's not to like about this hat !?!?After the costume party I put it back in the bag and box it was sent in, but I kept thinking to myself, I really like that hat and should probably buy a hat box for it instead of keeping it in an Amazon box, so I took it out to measure it and I put it on again, looking in the mirror once again saying, this hat is awesome and wore it for the remainder of the day, then the week, and then a cold snap moved into the area and I noticed that it's actually keeping me warm (I usually wear a beanie in the winter) ! I love it !Last but not least.., this hat sure does get a lot of attention here in South Texas, (I'll probably buy the summer version soon) !

Has the quality of other hats that I've had for thrice the price. The S/M size fits my 22 1/2" head like a charm. A keeper.

This is a nice hat which fits well and looks good. The brim is small which is trendy and stylish. The material is good as well. It's a wool acrylic blend that is of a heavy weaveSince sizing seems to be an issue with some hats I wanted to share that the sizing charts online are pretty accurate regarding this hat.In general all size charts should have three rows. Inches (centimeters), classic hat size (such a 7 7/8) and modern size (small, medium etc..). These hats are roomy but mostly true to size.Be aware that this hat is a modified Trilby. By that I mean it's brim is very short. I think that makes it more casual and trendy than most hats of it's style.

My daughter ordered and has gotten so many complements.

Perfect I love it.

This hat came well shipped from asia via e-packet, and though slightly higher price than your typical products shipping out from asia, the quality is well beyond my expectations. This is a panama hat, with a thick sturdy brim that would easily move with wind, but not fall in your face as soon as you put it on. The hat came packaged not in a box, but in a bag, but had a plastic from to hold the base of the hats shape as to not be misshapen during transit, the brim did become a little bent, but nothing a little ironing wont sort out.

This is just the type hat I was looking for. It is a little snug but not enough to not be able to wear. It is made of cloth and has the front brim down. Very distinguishing looking. I am happy 😄 with what I got especially for the price.

This was well made for the price, but the L/XL was still a little small for my husband's head. It worked for the 1920's party we needed it for, and then my 11 year old son stole it. For $13, it's great.

Current fun hat. Made well. Take your hat size.

It's a little tight for a large/xl, but it'lt stretch. The feeling of the liner is a little weird, compared to previous trilby hats I've bought which didn't have a liner, but it's kinda nice. This is not a hat for a hot day though. I ended up soaking my liner because I got too hot. Still, really nice felt hat, almost hate wearing it daily because I don't want to ruin it. The ring on the left side of the hat is a bit puffy, too, but that's not a big deal. Altogether, if you have narrower shoulders and can pull this hat off, it's worth the price. I paid about the same amount for a cheapie at Wal-Mart and it was worthless compared to this one.

Nicely made fedora, but it's L/XL size was way too small for my head and they don't offer a bigger size. All the other fedoras I own are L/XL and fit perfectly, but this one is at least 2 sizes too small. I would return it, but the cost of UPS return would almost cost me as much as the hat did, since UPS would have to come to my apartment to pick it up since there is no UPS store near me. Just a word of warning: If you usually wear large/extra large size hats, this one will not fit you.

The hat is good quality and warm for the cold weather, Like the hat and have been wearing the it but i would have loved the hat if it were styled a little differently.The slope in the front of the hat, and the tiny brim made it look like a ladies hat to me when i first tried it on, and I thought about returning it. But all the people in my family said it look OK and did not look like a ladies hat, and while I was swearing the hat cashier at home depot said she liked my hat.I wanted a black hat for the winter but I did not want to spend a lot of money. When you look at a photo or in the mirror you still do not really know how you look to others, so as long as people tell me that they like the hat and that it looks good i will wear it, but If some one told me that thy thought i was wearing a girls hat i would give the hat to my wife.I would recommend this hat because of the quality, and the price

Love the style, quality and texture. It just runs a bit small.

Fit was perfect. Changed out the black string for leather and feather!! Nice quality for the price.

Nice hat for the price. It's a little large for me but I am keeping it. Will line the rim with something.

Lovely hat! It's a light navy blue color (a little lighter than the photo) and it fits well. The material is light and warm and the brim is a little flexible (not very floppy, which I like). Looking forward to wearing it!

Very well-made for the price but is on the large side for the stated dimensions.

Received creased, I will have to try to iron out. I'm concerned about damaging the material. Otherwise if successful, I will be satisfied. For the price I paid for the hat and if not creased I would have given 5 stars.

Quality is good. Ordered the L/XL...doesn't fit. More like a M/L. Unfortunately will have to return it.

Hat was in a box with lots of padding, but the entire hat was pushed in. Even when I popped it back into shape you can see that it is now misshapen from being pushed in so long. It was on sale during a lightning deal so price was fine for what I received. Without the sale though, I would have been really bummed about the quality and damage.

Beautiful hat, and the inside silky-black paisley lining is truly gorgeous. But I have a large head (7-3/4 fitted baseball caps), and this fedora borders on the "L" side of "L/XL". It fits me more like a yarmulke than a hat.

This is not L XL by any means.. it's more like one size fits all.... which means doesn't fit if you need a large or bigger. I'm 6'5" so the sizing for me has to be bigger or it's way too tight. My Fiance is a 5'4" Chinese man and this hat fits him perfectly.I want to add that the quality of this hat is quite good.... so much sadder for the lack of fits true sizing...

For the price, this is a good hat. Mine was missing the black ribbon which might have helped it fit better. My head is larger than average and still I had to pull it down to the top of my ears. It blows off easily in anything stronger than a light breeze which can be annoying.I did find an excellent black satin ribbon trim from a milliner online which is adjustable and can be removed. I'm hoping that helps it fit better.Do yourself a big favor and google how to measure yourself for a hat correctly. It's easy and will save you any sizing disappointment.

I'm not sure what hat I was shipped but it was nothing like any of the reviews I read. It was too small (which is my fault not theirs), the black band around the top of the hat was loose and not even seen down, the packaging was it shoved in a plastic bag and therefore made the hat fold in on itself. I also read that this was a stiff wide brim and it was not at all. It was a soft brim that fell in my face when I tried the hat on. Overall the material was nice, the hat itself was very well made just quite disappointing it wasn't for me.Update: I will be returning this product however I just wanted to add a few stars because the company themselves emailed me and have helped me sort out the return process with ease. They were extremely polite and went out of their way to see if there was anything further they could do. Great customer service!

It's a really cute hat but it's a bit on the floppy side not stiff like I was looking for I spent a while looking for a hat that doesn't have floppy in the discribtion box and I thought this was it its a beautiful hat but its what I was looking for except the floppy brim

Nice looking, nice material, good fit. The stitching where the hat meets the rim on one side could have been done better. The edge of the hat material is frayed causing white fuzz and thread to show up around the hatband. The hatband covers it but it works it"s way out.

Sorry but they evidently don't make their hats for us intelligent "Fat Heads".

Very disappointing. Too small. In addition, the colour is way off. Much darker grey and the brim at front is smaller than shown in the picture. sad face.

I got the biggest size available and it was still too small.

For the price I certainly wasn't expecting the highest quality felt, but it's so cheesy it's a wonder why they bothered to line the insides. I would say it's about the quality I would expect for a Rat Pack costume. Besides that, although it came in a large box, it was dented and beat up, requiring a good amount of steaming to straighten out.I guess at night, from across the street, it may look kinda ok, but don't let anyone see you close up.

I wore this one time and ended up giving it away because it fit too narrow on my head, and also a little bit tight. I bought a size small because I have a small head and wear small in other hats. I recommend getting the medium if you have a small head. Anyway it was made of cheap material and after wearing it once it got a lot of fuzz and pills on it.

had to return

And floppy.

sloppy , poor construction

It was floppy and I was looking for a stiff brim.It arrived in a good amount of time and the material was nice but it isn't what I was expecting at all

Not good.

Other then 1 - being crushed, 2 - being wrong color, 3 - being way too large ...Wait, there isn't a flip side .. I got what i paid for!

Very disappointed. I think their hat sizing is off. It's just too small. Returned it and ordered a different brand. Waiting for the delivery to arrive.

To small, does not fit, waste of money.

Is more to medium truant smallMaybe I'll return and keep searching

it was nice but way way too small even though I bought the large size :((

The crown is too tall for a woman I am sending it to Goodwill
