“We asked for a slightly flatter brim after the first review. The next version kept the crown proportion we liked and corrected the brim line, so the decision was much easier on our side.”
“We were comparing two felt weights and several band options. The differences were explained clearly, and we could narrow the direction before moving into the next development round.”
“On our reorder, communication around packing and production timing was straightforward. When one trim needed changing, the alternatives were confirmed quickly and the schedule stayed clear.”
