    Spectator Shoes

    Drop Tom an email and let him know. I told him that there might be some interest in his spectators over here, and I hope there is. I have no financial interest in the shoes other than I hope to order a pair of the snuff suede/brown specs.

    Met with the Major today....

    Snazzy! Was this at the West Memphis Shoneys?

    Spectator Shoes

    My apologies if this is inappropriate, but some of you may have seen my Alden spectators. They really are fantastic, but hard to come by. A fellow at Ask Andy is trying to get 10 orders together for a special run of these through LeatherSoul Hawaii. They won't be cheap, probably around $400, and...

    Adventurebilt hats - anyone ordered from?

    You ordered in May '08 and he's planning on making it this coming Sep/Oct? I can't imagine he could possibly get to them that quickly. [huh]

    Team USA's Olympic Parade Suit

    Compared to everyone else (including the Brits) they weren't too bad.

    REQ: Photos of non-brown, non-Indy Adventurebilts (+ Reg vs Dlx)

    I think a lot of the price for the AB Deluxe is simply the exchange rate. The dollar is very weak right now. But Marc spends extra for just the right felt, sweat, etc. Is the regular AB that much more expensive than other beaver fur hats? It's cheaper than an Optimo and within range of a VS...

    Stetson "Nostalgia"? (now with pics)

    What was the outlet price on that, if you don't mind?

    Basic Hat Quivers?

    Very tough question. A lot of guys wear, say, an Open Road/Stratoliner style thin ribbon almost exclusively. Then you've got the folks who wear an Indy hat every day. For me, if I had to narrow it down to just a few necessary hats: OR/Strat/Alessandria thin ribbon (lighter color...

    It's a new hat day!

    Congrats on the hats. My AB came a couple of weeks back, and it is a great feeling. Of course it's hitting 100 today, which makes it a better time for those Panamas than the AB.

    Indy Specs

    I'm pretty sure Steve has put the specs over at COW. Go to the opening page of Indy Gear and there are links to essays on the hat, including the CS.

    Why the X

    ^Orvis, like any retailer, frequently sells things at a clearance price. They had limited sizes in the OR. They keep marking things down until they're gone. That wasn't a regular price.

    Why the X

    Since we're on the subject of ideas for HATCO (not that he asked), but I think a premiere beaver line of 'Special Edition' type hats made in a limited number would be a big hit aimed at the higher end (eg, Fedora Lounge) market. For example, a re-edition Stratoliner in silverbelly, a re-edition...

    Why the X

    First, Hatco, welcome back. It's an asset to the board that you are here, and I think your presence and willingness to address issues can only help the Stetson name (and that of the other Hatco brands). I hope your health issues have been resolved in a positive way. Second, everyone make sure...

    Some bad news (now getting better!)

    Wait--Art has a heart?! All this time I thought he was a hat making machine. Get well, Art. We're praying for you.
