Hat Stores-a list
Hi Carter, I apologize that you could not get through. The last two months were crazy for us with mail order and internet sales. Sometimes I am the only one who can answer questions because everyone else is taking orders or helping customers who come into the store. We arent just mail order... -
Biltmore hats?
Biltmore is the most accomadating hat factory today. They will make whatever we need whether it be two or twenty of an item. The problem is money. They have none and the only way to buy from them is to buy the felt beforeahnd. Then the hats are made and we pay for the labor. It works forthe... -

Stetson 100 Mint w/Tan Presentation Case
The Stetson 100's were mostly made during the 1950's until the mid 1960's. As time went by, the linnings were made cheaper and had less color in them. I have a Stetson catalog somewhere in my colllection from the early 1950's that mentions the 5x, 7x, royal quality and nutria... -
Stetson Empire?
This hat was created by Stetson to compete with Biltmore's Beaver finish hat. It is a fur felt hat wit hthe hairs buffed in a way so as to give it a long hair finish. Hatco sent me one. It feels like a very stiff hat. TheBiltmore is better. Steven... -
Borsalino Como IIs?
The easiest way to tell the difference between the USA and Italian hats are that the American ones did not say made in Italy on the leather band. It was left out. Also the "feel" of the hat was different. The USA ones were much stiffer than the Italian ones. I still have a few left in stock... -

The world's finest felt hat !!!
We had the Cervo salesman in our store two weeks ago. He showed us some very interesting hats. The problem honestly is how many people will buy them? Most people who want a better production hat will buy a Borsalino . Those who want a decent felt hat at a modest price will buy a Stetson or a... -

Where to find Akubras in Chicago?
A lot of stores here in the US have stopped carrying Akubras because the distributor (David Morgan)decided to sell them himself. As a distributor, he pays less than a retailer and can offer lower prices. Thats an unfair advantage that caused a few stores to drop the line... -
