“I was expecting a typical waxed canvas material but this doesn’t seem like the traditional waxed cotton. I’m under the impression the fabric is just sprayed with a water repellent solution. I’ll probably play around with a wax and apply it myself so the hat can age with me. Overall very well made and comfortable hat and I’ll enjoy wearing it.”
“I have about 15 Melin hats but this is my favorite. The color is classic especially for the nautically inspired and the authentic sailors…. The sophistication in the materials used is innovative and incomparable.”
