Thanks. So it would be safe to say then that the process of coming up with this hat involves a fair amount of work researching the actual dimensions of the original Stratoliner from existing vintage samples, getting the weight, stiffness, hand and color as close as possible to the original in spite of not having one in new condition and retooling the factory to actually produce them at an affordable price point in less than a year?
Tall order and hats off to those making this happen, both at Hatco and the FL.
As close as possible in going with a hat that 'looks' as close to the original Stratoliner.
Remember, the Stratoliner was just a renamed Open Road with a different brim flange.
