I kept seeing ads for Henry's Caps. I like caps and the ad caught my attention. What jumped out at me was how everything screamed 'FRAUD'. I was intrigued, could it be as obvious as it seemed? Let's find out! The ad shows a youthful old guy named Henry. He started making caps as a child, trained in the US and Italy, all as a child. He was retiring, and his very expensive caps he had made since the age of four years old had to be sold, so they were going at hundreds of dollars off. I was amazed, a $400 cap for $30? He must have been senile! I saw the American flag, a patriotic tear welled up in my eye. That flag was next to ”free shipping in the USA". Ol' Henry, an American, flag, reference to the USA shipping, Everything read like some marketing expert wrote up the ad, word play, misrepresentation, all I thought was "China". The hats were basic Chinese made caps on line around $25. I read the descriptions. Oh, first off the names were ridiculous, another hint Chinese marketers. I done been to college and can read so I saw words like blend, mixed fabric, tweed appearance. I had to order s cap. The asking for a tip to help pay for retirement was cute. Did I mention my career was in international logistics and govt compliance? Yeah ... I watched the order...weird, the tracking number was China post and had verbage in Chinese. In all my years I never saw a product made in the US and sent to China to be shipped back. That would be dumb. The order cleared as part of low value bulk clearance. It was turned over to a Chinese delivery company and after 12 days my super high quality, tweed wool appearing, American made (ha!) caps, I got a cotton ish one as well, showed up in a plastic bag. Gotta be careful packaging those high end American made caps.First thing is one cap had no label showing country of origin. That is a violation of US law. The cotton cap was about 30% too high in cost but a nice cap. The tweed wool appearing cap was fine for a cheap cap, also should have been 30% cheaper, I guess the difference covers that free shipping in the US. The cap is wearable. It is tweed appearing, but made of polyester, this a cheap looking fabric, and no where near the quality one expected if they believed the ad. I didn't, I just had to know. This is a scam from the ad print, the photo of Henry the old child Labor victim, and is very misleading. The shiny polyester fake wool actually has the texture of burlap. I will return to not trusting anything on line unless I know the seller.
