Quick to take your money but very slow to get you your hat. Six months and still no hat. They always have an excuse but no satisfaction on my end.

Can’t wear the hat cause it hurts and no refund available. So I’m out well over $1000

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I purchased a hat that arrived too small. I was told to wear it to see if it broke in.

It still hurt to wear after wearing it several times. I had to pay to ship it back. Then was told to pay a $135 fee to clean the hat before they would reshape it. Sent it back and it was still too smal.

I purchased two other hats during this time in the size I told them and they both fit perfect. After sending it back yo resize twice, paying for both shipping costs($70), $135 cleaning fee and $850 for the hat, I am told no refund is available.

I bought a Yellowstone Kelly hat from these people $850. The hat body arrived barely sanded, the stitching on the edge binding was uneven. Sent the hat back and still could not get it correct .

The Last Best West hat company did take the hat back and chose not to fix the bound edge. There completely incompetent.

Hi everyone - this is The Last Best West. Just to add to this post: We have WONDERFUL customers.

But every 10 or 12 years we get a customer who is rude and demanding and cannot be satisfied. We had Mr. Melancon send back his hat and paid for the shipping. We were always responsive and tweaked the hat and got it back to him in a timely manner.

In one spot on the bound edge the stitching is not perfectly straight as he shows in his picture. We would have been happy to re-do that stitching (we want our customers to LOVE our hats) but instead Mr.

Melancon makes this comment: "The folks making hats for y’all are retards." We have hundreds and hundreds of (REALLY) satisfied customers. This customer was quite the opposite and I think his comments pretty much sum up the type of individual we are dealing with here.

The last Best West here again Brandon Melancon. We are not dishonest and please note that we refunded the cost of the bound edge to you so that you can have someone stitch it on for you under your direct supervision. We believe that is the only way you will be satisfied (if ever).

Travis (management) was not customer friendly..you judge

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

.my email to them:

could you please send me some pictures of my hat after it formed....i would like to make sure it is shaped as i want.

this could save dissatisfaction when it actually arrives.... not that i am real picky but i know what i am expecting.

miller hats did this for me and there were some changes i asked for after seeing the pics that they were able to accommodate.

thanks

the response from travis:

Hi xx we do not have the resources to be able to offer that service.

If this is something you require than perhaps it would be best if you took your project to Miller hats, in which case we will cheerfully refund your order.

We have your very detailed instructions for your hat, and we will do our best to follow them.

However, we do expect our clients to make slight adjustments to their hat (if required) for personal taste.

If the brim needs to be a little higher, or the crease on the crown a little deeper, than plug in your steam iron and do it, with the instructions that come with your hat.

Thats the beauty of beaver fur-felt it can be adjusted with just a decent steam iron, over and over again by anyone with a bit of patience and a mirror. Many of our clients do this and enjoy bonding with their hat in this manner.

Your hat is in this production run, so please advise us within a day if you wish to cancel your order.

Hyper Sensativity Alert

While this company MAY have quality in materials and product, the staff, especially management, are arrogant and defensive in dealings with customers. Be prepared for the most basic mistakes like wrong shipping addresses and other such errors and be careful when you call them on it because then they will Blacklist you.

Their attitude is that you work for them and not the other way around. They are not your vendor, they are your boss.

As a Purchasing Agent, I cannot recommend doing business with this company. I am not "pissed", just surprised.

Very poor Craftsmanship at the Last Best West

Do not purchase a hat from these folks. The Hatter by the name of Longfellow is very unskilled at his profession.

I bought a custom hat ($400) from them and it was so poorly done I had to take it to someone else to make it even wearable. His abilities were poor and attention to detail and quality were absolute the worst anyone has ever see. These are comments from other hatters I took my hat to to have it fixed. Hat was crooked, undersized and cut incorrectly.

What a huge disappointment.

Buyer beware, you can do much better from just about anyone.

Buddy you must be naive. I have 5 of their hats and they are all amazing.

And really, what did you think another hatter would say? Do you really expect GM to praise a Ford?

Grow up. It sounds like you have no idea what a good hat is.

Guest

:grin Hmmmm - I went onto the site for the last best west and they have hundreds and hundreds of great testimonials, and just this one sour grapes whine. Probably a guy who's never happy anyway. I'll still be buying a hat from them they look amazing!

Or it could be a guy who knows what to expect from a new hat and received one of Longfellow's culls. Something just lying around and used for practice.

All the positive feedback is what prompted me to buy the 50%. Hardly an investment. I'm not whining. A lot of people would be embarrassed to admit they had been taken.

Something's you may not notice right out of the box. I agree , my hat is cull. Its junk.I used to work on western ranches, a good wind would probably finish this cull.

They have an eye candy website though. What I tell folks after I show them my hat is "its a good thing they're not the last because they sure ain't the best"
