2015 Stetson Excellent Quality GREEN THIN RIBBON (Preview & Review)

[DJH]

Charlie, that looks like a very nice hat. It is great to see HatCo upping the quality standard like this.

+1, glad you like it Charlie. Now if we could get those TWA planes back in the line up...

Time to update... This afternoon I met Jeff and the gang at DelMonico's and took delivery of my Excellent Quality Stratoliner...

I can get you a Premier Open Road in Silverbelly

Jeff

Jeff, Thank you. I have three Premier Strats that I bought from you guys. I've been contemplating a Silverbelly. But I'm holding out for a wider-brim Excellent Quality OR. I'm not sure if one is in the works. Perhaps Mr. Deckard will make it happen.

Congrats, Charlie. I think your face says it all. Man, I'd love to visit that store.

 

[RJR]

That store has to go on my bucket list,though I'm sure I'd get in deep trouble.

Congrats, Charlie. I think your face says it all. Man, I'd love to visit that store.

Only 15 min from my home... Am I allowed to gloat?

 

[Hat Dandy]

Wonderful hat. Now, it's time to scrimp and save to buy one!

Open crown? If so, count me in, especially with a 150 pin, hint hint

Ha! LOL.

 

[hatsRme]

Yup, Jeff and I spoke of the local regulars, and your name was mentioned... Lucky man!

I've always enjoyed Milford, but the Jai Alai fronton is gone, the Mayflower's closed... just you now, Bob!

 

[Bob Roberts]

Pauls Hamburgers too!

 

[Landman]

I haven't been online much lately and am just now seeing this. Great looking hat Charlie!

 

[hatsRme]

Thanks, Mike!! Yours on order?

 

[Landman]

Not yet...but I'm sure I'll end up ordering one I was holding out to see all the final colors.

Congrats to all who have received their hats. Wear them often and enjoy the ride.

With all due respect, pictures in post #193 look almost exactly the same as my 2 Campdrafts. Yes, I understand the whole quality of the felt/sweat thing, but is this new model really worth $325? Maybe for us hat geeks, but will the general population of hat buyers really understand the difference? I would expect that if a buyer is presented with a side by side comparison of excellent vs premier, they would be hard pressed to accept paying a $100 bonus for the excellent model.

Agreed, it’s a good effort on Hatco’s part to up their game, and I wish them success, but in the long term, they may be playing to a very small audience.

General pop ain't buying & wearing hats. Might as well cater to those that are.
