Open Crown Stetsons: A Call (Plea) to Retailers!!
I just noticed this on the Stetson web site and didn't see it posted here. Stetson hints at Pharrell for the new Stratoliner: http://www.stetson.com/hats/premier-stratoliner Oh well, whatever helps them sell open crown hats. It does make a nice image for sure. -
It's time for a gentlemen's agreement.
When I was a kid long ago my family had a sow I made a pet of. Used to ride it like a pony. Pigs are very intelligent and do show affection. I ended up eating that pig. If you grow up on a farm you learn the hard way to not make pets of livestock! -

Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
I wonder if these high paid BIN sales are that way because of the assumption at auction they would go higher so some buyers accept that is the only way they can get something--seems hard to imagine that in this case though. Sometimes just too hard to believe some things are worth as much as... -

Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
Crazy high asking price...I'm wondering how it got from the buyer of that auction to the current seller as the original seller, buyer and current seller are all different people. Unless the current seller used a different account as that buyer...or there is a missing transaction. Now if... -
Restoration of a lost Stetson film
Thanks for the reminder. Last week I posted this. Interestingly if one tries to go from the schedule link from their web page it doesn't go to this info but the link to the subject from the highlights page does. Whomever maintains their web-code messed up. -

Open Crown Stetsons: A Call (Plea) to Retailers!!
Jeff, Any idea on additional colors being offered for these in the future? And if yes, what those might be? Various types of grays I assume which is good and perhaps a more traditional Silver Belly are possible. I realize it may not be practical or possible for Hatco to go beyond that but... -
Ask a question, get an answer
You might also want to consider using a hat jack or stretcher adjusted to your head size (use a hat that fits to adjust it) and use that in the hat your are trying to shrink down. May help with tracking and adjusting the fit. -
Oh no...WARNING: You will NOT be able to unSee this. Procede with caution

Restoration of a lost Stetson film
On the Preservation web site I found this: http://www.filmpreservation.org/userfiles/image/PDFs/BirthOfAHat_Getman.pdf It looks like the new film may include some of the same footage that is in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_lZnPn0C0k. Maybe whomever sees the new video first can compare the... -
Know nothing Retailers!
Or in other words all these ads from the "high-end" retailers probably prove is that many (most?) consumers who can afford to pay these "high-end" prices are much more ignorant of what they are buying and how to judge quality than most of us here or for that matter their forefathers were. As... -
Beaver Brand Hats Final Auction
I think you are spot on. Factory operations tend to focus on volume to keep a large operation going, but with ever increasing costs to run a business (labor, materials, etc) and to avoid raising prices too high such that most customers are priced out something has to give and using inferior... -

Beaver Brand Hats, gone?
Some of the online western dealers had stopped carrying their products over the past few years before they went out because of big price increases and in at least some offerings a reduction in quality.
