    Did Hatco close their rough hat body plant?

    I'll admit that I'm a bit sleep deprived but I swear I saw a comment on Facebook yesterday about Hatco closing their rough body plant in Longview and that they are now using imported felts. I can't find the post today so I'm wondering if there's any truth to this or if it was all a hallucination?

    Multiple handmade hats for sale

    Here's a few hats I made that are up for sale. I don't make hats for sale regularly but I had made these for an event that didn't really pan out.

    Fur felt production

    I'm really interested in the production processes of fur felt for hats. There is a lot of information throughout this forum on felt production such as the Winchester tour video and the old Stetson film that is I believe from the 1920's.

    WTB Stetson Boss of the Plains

    This may be out of my price range but I figured it doesn't hurt to ask. I'm looking for a Stetson Boss of the Plains. If anyone has a 7-3/8 that would be ideal but I also wouldn't mind any size just as a display piece. I also don't mind some character and I don't expect to be able to afford...
