“I can't tell you how thrilled I am with my new Benford Yacht Hat®. It was everything I had hoped it would be! I can say without hesitation as someone who has worn this style hat almost my entire life (I'm 63), that your yacht hats are absolutely the best available today without question. The workmanship, attention to detail, and overall quality is equal to or exceeds any caps of the past, including my Lancasters. I would also like to add that your friendly, helpful answers to my questions and great customer service was greatly appreciated. I wholeheartedly recommend your yacht hats to anyone looking for this classic style hat. Simply put, if you love quality, you will love the Benford Yacht Hat!®”

“I just wanted to drop you a line about my hat. It's by far the best hat I've ever had! I plan on getting another one but I'm giving it some time to see how it settles in, to see if I want to go with the same size or not. I'm working with it to get the shape I like, and I'll shoot you a picture so you can see what I'm doing with it. I did take your advice about a stretcher, which I keep in it when it's not on my head. The more I wear it the more comfortable it becomes. The workmanship really is top notch! It's worth every penny! Thanks for bringing back this hat! I'll be in touch.” Mark W.

"I have been thinking about my new Benford Yacht Hat® and why it is important to me to have this quality chapeau. For my life experiences and fond memories were most always accompanied by me wearing one of my favorites hats and I want my Benford Yacht Hat® to be part of me on my adventures. My surviving and most endearing hats still vividly evoke the memories of past good times. Again reminding me too that I still have more roads to travel, more water to go under the keel and why I welcome my new Benford Yacht Hat® to my chosen assemblage of my favored hats. And Lastly, most importantly I shall hope my new Benford Hat® will become my most favorite as it’s the water that makes me tick and this hat fits that bill!"
