If you read the listing he was giving fair warning that the hat might get sold out form under you since it was for sale off ebay too. I wanted him to convert the listing to have a make an offer option so that I could buy it for the off ebay price. Were we being a little sleazy? Maybe. I am...
I don't either as a rule but his listing said he had it for sale locally too so I asked what the local price was and if he would sell it for that price?

I was a key stroke away from closing a buy it now deal on this Stetson 25 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230595940686&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT. When some ding dong bid it up on its first day on the bay. I don't want it anymore since I came so close to closing the deal and...
I think if you look from the 50's, 60's, 70's 80's ect... you will see many products with names from the past that do not look like the older versions. 300m, Thunderbird, Mustang, Corvette, ect... These cars conform to updated style with hints back to the older cars (sometimes).

This has turned interesting now. Hatco would Hatco make a Strat or Whippet or Open Road on the old dimensions if we could get a run of 48? To us here lets face it the kids are the future of the hat wearing word and they are making the move. they started wearing $50.00 baseball hats and now...
This type of thing really intrigues me Hatco. How much coordination is there between the Stetson Hat makers and other products? Are the hats sold in say Australia different from US Stetson. I assume there is a QC requirement for the licensees so that say a stinky after shave dose not...
Do we really need to go there? The man is the post before you. If you think it is expensive fine but I don't think you need to mention his craftsmanship. There are places for that and IMHO this particular thread is not it.
PS I don not own or am in the proses of owning a Penman Hat

Forgive me if I am asking a question you have answered before. You seem to be saying that for most of the 20th century beaver was not used as much as we think and that the quality of felt had to do with other factors other then the % of beaver. If that is true and from what you have written...
