Bancroft vs. Superior???

[PCL_128]

Bernard hats aren't as good as Bancroft, but they're definitely far better than the Superior hats.

I ordered my new Bancroft late May and recieved it about 5 weeks later just as advertised. I ordered online and sent an email to confirm the hat was on its way and got a email response 2 days later. Unless something changed in the last month there still in operation.

Yes the phone number is useless. Just order on line.

weird. I ordered my in feb and didn't get it till june. I called and emailed numerous times and it took weeks to get someone on the other end of the line and never got a respons on email. I must not know the secret code.:erm:

I have searched high and low for a Bancroft hat. Every pilot shop I have contacted has told me they cannot get Bancroft any longer because they are out of business. If not true, why has about a dozen or more shops told me the same thing?

Anybody try a Bernard? Seems the local shop is carrying them to replace Bancroft.

Yeah, I bought a Bernard hat a few months back (again because I could not get through to Bancroft), and I've been pretty happy with it. Nicer and more comfortable than the superior. Another nice feature is that they have removeable/replaceable covers. In other words, the fabric portion of the hat is removable. You can get them here: www.tallyhouniforms.com

I am having lots of trouble with Bancroft as well. I purchased mine towards the end of May to replace that piece of junk Superior hat. It fell apart after the first week!! I still haven't received my hat from Bancroft and they won't return my emails. GRRRR

Bancroft went out of business

NO, they did not go out of business. I called them and asked to be sure. As far as the wait, it will take about a month to get a hat from them, as they do not keep a stock on hand, they build each hat as they are sold. You can make an order on their website and ask them to rush it.
