You are correct about educating customers, but in this case they (guess it’s Stetson, not their contractor Hatco) are creating a situation where they are presenting customers with competing products. In such a case, the vast majority will not appreciate the difference, will take the more...
Congrats to all who have received their hats. Wear them often and enjoy the ride.
With all due respect, pictures in post #193 look almost exactly the same as my 2 Campdrafts. Yes, I understand the whole quality of the felt/sweat thing, but is this new model really worth $325? Maybe for us hat...
Given that the weather is getting warmer, and the straws are making an entrance, I was wondering if there was any interest in getting ready for the fall felt season by setting up a custom Campdraft build with EA.
Remember seeing some earlier posts pushing for an all black version (I'm...
Feeling the pain also. With the exception of Campdrafts, and a pair of 65cm Stylemasters that Sam at EA convinced Akubra to build for me, I've given up on stock production hats, and going forward will give my money to Mike at NW and get a quality product at a fair price.
Maybe it's time for...
Sounds like a good customer service experience + a very good price after the discount. Glad it worked out for you.
They seem to be running 20% off specials on a regular basis, so I would expect many folks to take advantage of it.
Send Sam a note on your needs, and he can advise you if he has anything ordered for stock. Orders monthly on the last Friday of the month for both customer orders and his store stock.
Quite sure the OOS bluegrass green sizes won't be in till May.
Brand new Alpha Industries Leather CWU 45/P Flight Jacket, black, purchased in 2009 but never worn. I tried it on, found it to be snug, and put it back in the original box.
Size is 2XL, but be advised that these jackets are cut small. Please refer to the Alpha website for sizing guidance...
Folks who shop at Barneys at 61st and Madison are a different breed from hardcore FD members, so I wouldn't expect them to visit Borough Park Brooklyn for any reason...2 very different worlds, 2 very different types of shoppers. They might, however, cross over to visit the "trendy" shops in...
I just sent her a note asking if she can go up to a 6" open crown, tall and straight with no taper. Used this as an example, taken from the NW facebook page...
Sam at EA bundles all of his monthly non-stock Akubra sales, and places his order on the last Friday of the month, so factor that in when you place your order.
Received a Silverbelly CD from HatsDirect to replace the moonstone that was lost in transit. Only took 10 days for the replacement to arrive.
Hat looks damm good, and fits my oversized head quite well after introducing it to Mr. Stretcher. Felt is extremely stiff, and wasn’t very happy when...
Frank - please see my earlier post regarding a Size 8...they contacted Hatco while I was on the phone with them and was told that size most likely will not work given the size of the felt body.
BTW - I was trying to send you a note in response to an earlier PM...couldn't send as your inbox is...
