Lots wrong here. Text says "Crafted in California since 1997". Then why was my order shipped slow boat from Sweden?
It was a "Raiders" style fedora, shipped from Sweden in a PLASTIC BAG and smashed flat. Customer service offered "compensation" of $4 on a $60+ order. What an insult. It took me going through PayPal to get a refund.
IMHO, Bellyhat is a scam. Never again.
P.S. I archived all 24 emails, so I can PROVE what I say.

I received my hats in a plastic bag, the hats are totally unuseable and distorted and for a small size they are way too big! The website states that the hats are manufactured in the USA, but the hats are made and sent from China. What a scam... Bye 80 euros!

DO NOT BUY FROM THIS SITE, IT IS A SCAM
My review would just be a copy of all the other negative reviews above it. Whatever price you pay for these hats, they're going to ship them in a plastic bag, which is pure negligence, first of all. And you know hats should be shipped in a box with care. After it gets beat up during delivery, they are only going to offer you $7 or $8 bucks as compensation and you'll be stuck with a crappy hat that you can't where anywhere. Even Temu takes more care than these people, I ordered a couple hats from Temu, they came in boxes and professionally wrapped. I thought they would've been the scam, instead, these guys are the scammers

DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY
DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY! They are liars and they make the worst quality hat I have ever purchased. It was shipped internationally in a bag and arrived totally distorted. It was at least 2 sizes too small, and the wrong color. When I contacted their customer support, they offered me 7 bucks .... their refund policy (45 days) is not honored AT ALL. Worst customer service, worst hat, buy elsewhere! Contact me, I have pictures to show how bad they are.

Do Not Buy These Hats!
I am beyond disappointed with my experience ordering from Belly Hat. I purchased two Extra Large Fedoras, and the entire process has been a nightmare. First, the hats arrived separately, a week apart, and were stuffed into flimsy plastic bags with zero protection. The first hat was bent and nowhere near the advertised size—it fit more like a medium. When I reached out to customer service to exchange it for a proper size (XXL), their solution was to offer me a pathetic $5 refund. That’s it. No exchange, no real apology. And to top it off, they take 2-3 days to even reply.
The second hat arrived in the same cheap packaging, but this time it was crushed beyond repair. I contacted customer service again, attaching photos of the damage, and their response? Another insulting offer—$8 back. Wow, how generous. After several emails, they finally “raised” their offer to $18, claiming it would come out of the customer service rep’s own pocket, which raises all kinds of red flags about how they run this operation.
To add insult to injury, they expect customers to pay for return shipping, which for international orders costs more than the hats themselves. So, I would have to spend over $100 to return defective products just to get back $80 I paid in the first place. This company is a complete scam—terrible products, worse customer service, and no regard for their customers. Avoid Belly Hat at all costs!

This is a scam
This is a scam. Do not buy here. It's a cheap material and not even close to what they said they are selling.

I ordered three hats
I ordered three hats, and I am not satisfied with them. They were delivered in a beg instead of a box. The brims were flappy when they should have been stiffed. The name of the hats is The Fox Fedora-Black Fire Brick, Black & White, and The Panama and Felt Two Tone Fox Camel. I will definitely not be ordering any thing else from you all again!

This company is a global junk dealer
This company is a global junk dealer. Not a single hat is handmade where they claim. The "Fire Brick Fox Fedora" hat I ordered came FLAT in a plastic bag, it smelled Toxic, the Rim cuts were 1/2" uneven and the sweat band glue was messy. The material was of India origin, NOT LATIN AMERICA ! The hats are all made in sweatshops in India, taken to China and then sent to several other global hubs. The glue used in many is TOXIC and not safe by North American standards. The easiest way to attest is asking " Where would I ship a return to ? " The Answer , China ! And You Pay for it ! Sending a Hat back ( or any item) to China is more costly than your purchase. Another way to KNOW your being scammed is by doing Image Searches using Google. Most fancy photos are Stolen from Real Companies !! Please Folks , BEWARE of ALL ADS on Social Media Platforms selling items for great prices. Research EVERY company you shop with online and call them directly to get facts ! No phone number ?? Stay Away !! It is always best to buy goods in the same country you live in. And when it comes to payments , Paypal will rarely ever help you , They DENY customers and praise crafty merchants. Your regular credit card company thru your Local Bank is the only safe method , they will fight for you. Bottom Line , Bellyhats is not a legit hat
