I suppose it is just my desire to go back to a time when I could go into a hat shop and buy a great Stetson hat. From Playboys to Stratoliners to Whippets and even Stetsonians, what I choice you could have and in any color you want. They didn't taper, were water proof and the color didn't run or fade. Now that is a Stetson that was work-a-day stuff back in the golden age. Maybe I am just living inthe past but I am sure there is still the skill and ability to do it. It would be nice if it was at a decent price as well. If a custom hat is cheaper then something is still wrong.
Ok, off my soapbox and off to the local hot rod show.
Regards to all,

Harry Lime said:James,
I believe Graham Thompson's Dad, Tim, has a hot rod or two in the show you attended (judging by area.) He does really cool '32 Fords in the authentic true hot rod style (flat heads, '50's era equipment, etc.) Did you happen to notice a cool 32 3-window he did?
Aaron Hats said:Just an fyi for folks. I just heard that Stetson is putting out a beaver fedora in fall '06. It's supposed to be similar to the Temple. I don't have any real details as my rep doesn't have his sample yet. Maybe Hatco is starting to hear all your demands for a better hat. We'll have to wait and see.
Cheers.
besdor said:Here is the deal on the Stetson Beaver hat . It will be in the shape of the Temple style that Stetson makes now . This is a 2 5/8" brim with a 18line band. A nice basic hat . It will come in three colors :black , steel gray ,and brown . The price will be less than a Bors beaver ,probably around 275.00 to 300.00 . It is supposed to be 100% beaver . Now we have to wait and see. :cool2:
