We were ripped-off !

 

Facts

Wildhagen introduced the Krys Cap for fall 2006. We sold over 150 in Canada and a few dozen in New York through Barney's department store. Gap introduced the Jockey Cap with wool detail for fall 2007. Gap's design and product development team is located in New York City.

We have carefully examined both hats and concluded that they are identical. We are not flattered. We are artists and so we hope our designs inspire others, but a mass produced identical copy using cheap materials crosses a line and undermines our business. We are a small family business with a child and rent. Wildhagen will request fair compensation for the unauthorized use of our design.
