I have an Isabel and a Jap
the Isabel I have for nearly 6 years. its held up very nicely. only recently has it started oxidizing (I wear it at least 3x a week) and I live in Israel.
the Jap is my pony sheital. I bought it 2.5 years ago wear it maybe 1-2x a week. the hair is still in good condition. but the rows of hair are falling off the net. I'm constantly sewing them back on and fixing up little holes in the netting.

also, when I was buying my pony it was suggested to buy a reg sheital and have it cut to be worn in a pony for more natural look.
I never tried on a "pony" sheital so I dont know the diff bet a pony and a reg. sheital

btw the jap and isabel are two totally different price ranges. Unless the price of an isabel has gone down drastically I paid more than double for the isabel than I did on the jap and the jap is longer (either that or I was TOTALLY gypped off)

I have a milano pony and was a little disappointed in the beginning with how the hair was sown in but now I don't even notice it (it's more when you brush and wash it, but not visible from outside). I have it about a year and wear it often but not every day. It's still like the day I bought it. I got it on sale for 475 including cut.

That being said: Any sheitel is mazel but it seems like Milano is more than most and they don't back up their product that much. My friend bought a pony and is so happy with it that she wears it down (which you can) and uses it for shabbos instead of her Shevy. A few other friends are also very happy with their Milanos.

I think I am going to go with a Milano, they said they guarantee it for 6 months.
I want the Freedom cap so the wig will cost me 600 with the coupon plus a cut.
I wonder if there's any way I can get it on sale.
