When I was debating on whether or not to buy a hammock and tarp from Brandon, my biggest concern was quality. I read several posts where people had purchased things and raved about the quality. However, I am new to hammocks and don't know anyone on the forums so those posts didn't actually mean a whole lot to me, because the interpretation of "quality" might be different from one person to the next, or by not knowing the comparison a person is making it to.
That said, I wanted to actually write about my perception of Warbonnet quality and what I compare it to.
My first real job was at a place in Nashville called Crown Tent & Awning. I learned to sew and manufacture large tents and side-walls. Tents like the ones for fireworks, Christmas trees, and weddings. I worked there for a few years and then I went to work for Springs bath fashions, making shower curtains. My point in telling you that is so that you understand I used to sew professionally so that's where I get my interpretation of quality.
My impression of the Blackbird and the Superfly is that, they are as well made as anything you would buy anywhere. They are not just well made, they are "professional quality". The hems are even and the stitching is consistent all the way around. The materials are flawless and first run.
If any of you are like me and you just don't feel sure about it, and wonder what someones definition of quality is... I hope this semi-review makes your decision easier.
