    Where can I buy a Cervo?

    We had the salesmanager from Cervo here last week. We discussed the future of the brand here in the USA. Cervo has not been sold here that much for many years. We hope to reintroduce the brand shortly. We will be introducing a few styles at a time. I hope to start selling them by the end of...

    GQ Guide to Buying a Hat

    Any article that mentions or encourages hat buying and wearing is a plus. To get free press in GQ is very difficult today . The hat industry can use all the help it gets to survive. I just wish we were mentioned in the article!! Steven...

There was nothing wrong woth them that a little steaming and brushing could not fix. If you know what...

    Please help me find a comfortable grey Derby

    I think that the only company today that can make a fur felt derby is Biltmore. The problem is that is isnt in the current line of hats . I'm sure that that one of the local hat stores could order one with a groasgrain sweatband. This would be the right way to go. The wool (Bollman ) versions...

    Anyone ever hear of 'Stetson Ermine Series B'?

    One of them has appeared on Ebay twice over the last five years. It is the size 6 7/8. I doubt that another one exists today. It was the ultimate hat . Steven www.bencrafthats.com

    Anyone ever hear of 'Stetson Ermine Series B'?

    The Ermine hat was produced by Stetson in 1939. They made 10 of them . Each hat was individualy boxed and was made from Ermine. One did pop up on Ebay but was a 6 7/8. Im sure that if another one exiists and is a normal size, it would fetch a lot of money. I offered 1000.00 for the one on Ebay...

    Some bad news (now getting better!)

    I had the pleasure to speaking to Art today. I'm sure he will be with us for a long time! Just give the man a little time to get back to his normal pace and his "works of Art" will be back on our heads ! I cant wait to order mine. Steven...

    Stetson "Nostalgia"? (now with pics)

    I am assuming that Carabou Gray will be offered by all of the vendors as this is the nicest color . Black would also be important. I dont remember what the third color is but I would assume that it would be mink brown or tan . Steven...

    Stetson "Nostalgia"? (now with pics)

    The Windham is preblocked with a welted edge that is then bound. It was a great seller this past season in brown and black. This year, Hatco has it in a Bark color . But I personaly dont like it because of the contrasting binding. The Nostalgia is open crown ,something not offered in a...
