It's time for a gentlemen's agreement.
Having just seen a Stetson 100 listed for $1600.00 and many more so-so hats routinely going in excess of $200.00, its time for the madness to stop. I propose we all cease buying, bidding and even thinking about hats for 6 months. Enough hats go unsold, and mayhap we'll see the prices head the... -
