    Open Crown Stetsons: A Call (Plea) to Retailers!!

    No worries!

    Brando Johnny Strabler / Wild One Hat

    That's too cool for school! He almost reminds me of a young Bob Dylan, except in a motorcycle cap instead of a spitfire. I've been eyeing the Village Hat Shop "Brando" cap for a while, to test the waters on the style before moving on to something more closely resembling the hat Brando wore in...

    Open Crown Stetsons: A Call (Plea) to Retailers!!

    I only recently heard about the demise of Beaver Brand. That is unfortunate, they made a nice product.

    Open Crown Stetsons: A Call (Plea) to Retailers!!

    I covered this already, but to save you time: It's a new photo. I'm puzzed as to why people keep assuming this is an old photo?[huh] As for the whole, Stetson isn't what it was debate. These are being made in a (continuously producing since before Hatco) Resistol factory that has inherited a...

    Open Crown Stetsons: A Call (Plea) to Retailers!!

    Guys, I understand that folks have differing opinions and respect that! It's just when the vehemence with which you state your position borders on "shooting the messenger", things get out of hand. As I feel it almost did before. Things seem to be moving at a clip for the possibility of seeing...

    Open Crown Stetsons: A Call (Plea) to Retailers!!

    Dear fellow Loungers, Let me start my response with a question. Why are you all so against this? There hasn't been a single response that said "Yeah, I'd like to see it!". Thus far, it's all been "It will never happen!" "They don't exist!" "Buy another brand!". I and Matt Range of...

    Open Crown Stetsons: A Call (Plea) to Retailers!!

    Well, I've enticed a retailer into considering an order for the open crown Stratoliner. GiGi Gaskins at HatWrks in Nashville has expressed interest, and wants to see how many are interested. Pigs may well have wings.

    Open Crown Stetsons: A Call (Plea) to Retailers!!

    It goes back to the original post, guys. Stetson can make a modern, properly spec'd [read: like the good old days!] Stratoliner like you see above... made in the good ol' USA, even. Who would like one? What retailer would stock one? That's what this all boils down to. It's fairly simple, really.

    Open Crown Stetsons: A Call (Plea) to Retailers!!

    Getting back to the original statement. Stetson WOULD make them, if retailers get enough requests. The question remains, who would be interested in buying one (quite a few of us, I suspect), and what retailer is willing to order? It's not about us "being a blip" on their radar, it's about...

    Open Crown Stetsons: A Call (Plea) to Retailers!!

    Dear Fedora Lounge associated Stetson retailers, and Stetson retailers at large, Recently, the bug for a modern production Stetson Stratoliner hit me. However, being one who likes to shape his own hat, I hit the wall. The hat is made with a factory crease only. Matter of fact, all of the modern...

    Small Cache of Beaver Brand Hats FOUND

    Hmm... not really interested in battling with the removal of a factory crease, so I'll pass. Though that kangaroo looks nice!

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    It's actually cool-ish for May. Normally we're in the mid to upper 90's! The humidity is HIGH right now. And yes, it's brutal in July and August! Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

    We haven't been having too much rain lately, so the locals aren't complaining, but hate that your holiday is being hampered by the stuff! Randy

    Adventurebilt hats status update (read if you have an outstanding order)

    Oh, I'm not calling him "dishonest" either!:eek: Just more than a little mixed up on how a business should be run. I know he's been through Hades and back in terms of his health, so delays were/are expected! Anyone who thinks a one man operation should flow smoothly when that one man is down...

    Too many great hats today to single out particular posters, I'd be forgetting someone. This reminds me, I need to get back into the spirit of WHAYWT?, myself! Randy
