Before I hear of your company, I would buy all my hats from Goorin Brothers here in the States. Before the Covid Pandemic they had brick & Morter stores. Now they are just an on-line business. But while shopping there, an ad for your site came up so I went shopping there. I am always looking for something unique to wear that makes me stand out from others and you deliver that. I am on my third czapki from your guys and I love them. They are comfortable, warm and historically accurate.

I'd been searching online and in stores for a stylish and distinctive hat. I was drawn to the Greek or Basque fisherman style put put off by their (what I considered) excessive embroidery on the visor and band. Finally I found the Sterkowski website saw the rakish lines of the Maciejowka Model 4 and the search was over. The craftsmanship of the model 4 is immediately apparent. Stitching throughout is peerless. The wool a mossy olive green with subtle brown undertones is a very pleasing to the eye. Likewise the dark brown (with the slightest tint of red?) leather is lustrous and supple to the touch. Even the inside of the cap where the soft leather headband is sewn to the high quality rayon lining is beautifully done. It's like wearing a piece of art. Light in weight but sturdy in build the M4 is comfortable from the first wearing. It looks great on and stands out from the sea of baseball caps out there. Actually the hat spends almost as much time being held up and admired as it does being worn. Thanks to Sterkowski for my new favourite hat!

Had this cap on my wishlist for several years untill I finally decided to purchase it and it was well worth the wait. It wasn't available in my desired colour/size combination but about three weeks after asking a restock notification it appeared. Shipping was fast with sturdy and secure packaging. The quality of both the material and the craftmanship stand out right away and it's so comfortable to wear on windy rainy walks that it already feels as if I've worn it for ages. Which I'm certain I will. I'd recommend Sterkowski to anyone who ever inquires about caps!
