    I do believe that GlengarryHats isn't a maker, rather an importer.

    They're half the price for a reason, hence my statements in a prior post.

    If you look over the gamut of the GlengaryHats offerings you'll note a familiar tale, such as odd-looking $300 wool doublets, Drum Major sashes, low-priced sporrans, etc etc.

    Good to know. Nonetheless, I have compared them to the Mackie in my possession and they stand up really well.
