Open Crown Stetsons: A Call (Plea) to Retailers!!
From what I recall of the prototype of the Strat40, as it was labeled, the felt body was spot on. Lots of us held one at FedFest in Garland plus the one I got to evaluate (sure would like it back).... It was issues with stitching in of the sweat, ribbon band placement & the bound edge... -

I think your front & sides need to be a tad taller as you stated. You don't really want the inner dome to be taller than the sides of the crease, at least I don't...JMHO -

Open Crown Stetsons: A Call (Plea) to Retailers!!
I know the dye recipes are different, especially between Resistol & Stetson silverbelly. When they do the felt body runs in Longview, TX, they use the dyes from the particular acquisition/licensing agreement. Not sure about felt bodies being for different fur weight or mixtures... -

Open Crown Stetsons: A Call (Plea) to Retailers!!
HatCo has always been willing to do "runs" for hat shops for a committed number of hats. Randy's post about getting numerous hat shops to ask for an open crown model is a different issue (color selection & range of sizes). I agree some folks here at the Lounge would be interested in a "run" of a... -

Who makes the best, strongest duck cotton work jackets?
I have 2 Carhartt's, 1 chore coat & 1 rancher coat. Doubt I'll ever wear out either one of them or ever need another. I got them on clearance since they were not the tan color. I rather like the moss color myself. I've always wondered how tough Duluth Trading Co. fire hose jackets...- gtdean48

Open Crown Stetsons: A Call (Plea) to Retailers!!
We tried to work directly with Matt Range of HatCo on an Open Crown version of the Stratoliner & actually got a couple of prototypes for review. Matt has disappeared, along with that hat he promised to return. No replies to emails or phone calls. We are not a blip on the HatCo meter for fedora... -

Ask a question, get an answer
Stetson has some outback style hats you can catch on sale that may be cheaper than a Banjo but not that much cheaper & not near as good a hat, IMHO.....http://www.sheplers.com/Stetson-4X-Drifter-Buffalo-Felt-Pinchfront-Cowboy-Hat/659.pro?parentCategoryId=533&categoryId=534&subCategoryId=889 -
