Pardon me...
I've been dealing with life in Dallas. Buying a house, etc. I still have some hats and I'll sell them ASAP. Thanks for continuing to be interested!
Working on a new process...
I do have more hats, and I'm working on a process to sell them in a more traditional web-store setting. I have a good friend who is helping me set up the site. I also started a new job this week, so it may be a while before I can get it up and running.
To answer...
Minimum Annual Purchase...
According to Mr. Cohen, the owner of Hirsch's, he stopped carrying Stetsons sometime around 1948 because Stetson started requiring stores to purchase several thousand dollars of merchandise annually. He told me that Stetson didn't want to deal with the smaller stores...
Plastic Liner Needs to be Removed
The hat doesn't fit because of the wrinkled sweatband. GWD and I both mentioned this during the auction, and GWD references it above. I think it's more of a problem than GWD describes, so I wanted to bring it up.
Some of the Adams from my collection have a...
Just moved back to Mac-Town
When I graduated from McKinney HS, the population was 40K, with one high school. Now, it's 130K with a 4th high school on the way, but zero hat shops. What gives?
Are y'all old school McKinney residents or newbies?
Stratoliner with "Vita-Felt Process"
I don't have any expert information regarding the "process", but I can share these photos of my Stetson Stratoliner with "Vita-Felt Process" markings.
This is a size 6 3/4, and it has some pretty significant moth bites, but it's one heck of a rare...
5 out of 6 points?
I only count 5 "points" on these 6 pointed diamonds. These are nice hats, so you could easily add a 6th point, if you wanted to achieve that look.
Whoa Nelly!
This auction is long closed. Thanks to Jazz and Randooch for responding, but this hat was sold to the highest bidder several months ago.
Active auctions will have a "thumbs up" next to them.

Thanks, Bart....
Don't worry... I didn't keep any 7 1/2 Stetsons for myself. I like this one because it was a fixer-upper. It still has some dark patches where I used a needle to pull felt over the moth nibbles. It's one helluva hat. When I saw the Public Enemies movie poster in the theatre, I...
Right on...

I'm not a Cavanagh expert, but I can tell you that you're right about the pliability of this hat. The felt is exactly 1 millimeter thick at the edge of the brim, so I assume the same width would be found throughout the hat. I can crease, and re-crease this hat to no...
