Apparently there's more coming down the pipeline that's not in the catalog? Matt has been showing some things off on Instagram:

Green Stratoliner? Me likey

I noticed that the sage Strat is an option on the Excellent Strat order form at Delmonico site. It wasn't a few weeks ago. I know some ordered the sage via personal orders with Jeff in Jan. Wondering if anyone has received their sage Strat yet? .......thinking I need one of these puppies also.....lol

I ordered one from Jeff, 6-8 weeks del. possibly sooner, that was about 3 weeks or more ago, so no not yet, I'm sure others will receive theirs sooner than I would, or all at once. Rest assured, evaluations will be forthcoming.

We have not received any of the Excellent Quality Stratoliners as of yet. Stetson should be sending us a shipment this week. I hope they are in this shipment.

I need some advice, guys. I've been dialoguing with Jeff regarding getting a new open crown Stetsonian. I'm pretty much ready to make the plunge for one in Light Grey, but I'm starting to get cold feet. I'm looking for a lighter colored hat, as too many of mine are either earth tones (brown-green), or some sort of darker grey. I have my eye on the Stetson Light Grey as something to break up the monotony. Trouble is, I've only seen photos of the Light Grey, from the catalog and a couple of eBay sales. I've not seen it in person, nor handled it, so if I order it, I'm taking a leap of faith. Photos of the Light Grey look almost white. Not certain I want to go that light. I don't have anywhere nearby to go look at one in person.

Has anybody seen this color in person? How does it compare to a regular grey when put side-by-side?

Signed,

Dithering in Dayton

Where have you seen light grey as an option for the Stetsonian? I've only ever seen the Caribou, which I got but it's a medium grey at best. The natural color might be a good option in the Whippet or Racine.

I've also got my eye on a Whippet in Natural. Those are my goals for new Stetson purchases this year.

Thanks, Bob. I think I'm going to take the chance. What color was the ribbon treatment?

Hey sorry. As previously posted. Thought it was a Stetsonian but was in fact a Strat. My mistake. My apologies. I don't recall the ribbon treatment... whatever. The hat was absolutely gorgeous. Incredible soft hand. And the color was a rich London Grey.
