Your description of "interesting" got me to click through, but such an adjective is often a veiled insult. I found Brent's candor and uncommon business sense to be refreshing and encouraging. Of course, there's no telling how true it is, because he just wants to sell us hats, but it makes for a fascinating story.

Given that the cheapest hat on his site retails for north of $700, I'm pretty sure his markup is considerable, no matter how much he pats himself on the back for eliminating the middlemen and paying weavers directly.

- washadjeffmad 3y agoThe first thought that occurred to me when I saw how much "charity" Bent organized in the form of tools to keep them making hats was "how many of these people wouldn't become lawyers or business people if they were being being paid fairly?" They make the hats, but it's clear who wears the crown.
