Well.............. you are two hours from the Stetson Saint Jo outlet in Missouri.......
How long can you be gone before they notice?!?!?!?!

I’d totally drive four hours there and back. A day well spent.

Although the last several weeks when I’ve called they tell me they have a large shipment to unpack and I should call back next week... this has gone on for at least five weeks. I don’t know if they’re really not unpacking merchandise or if that is a convenient thing to say to get me off the phone with them having to look for the styles and sizes I’m after. Hmmm.....

Glad to be in good company. It’s 1,800 miles for me so the phone is all I’ve got.

I think their Garland (Texas) location is closer to both of us, but it's still about 1,400 miles away (for me) and at least 22 hours one way by car.

I text Garland every couple of weeks but they always say they don’t have anything my size...I’m suspicious. Previously, the Mo. store came through with a couple of great hats for me.

In looking at the Stetson Riley cap I recently acquired and posted about in another thread, I note the inside care/materials label is first in German and in addition to saying "Stetson" on the lining, there is a tag saying Freidrich W. Schneider GmbH & Co. I don't believe this is the parent company of Stetson, so is this a licensee perhaps, and maybe this hat was made for the European market? Just wondering.

 

[MondoFW]

What materials do I need to clean my hat (felt, straw, sweatbands, liner)?

I believe they are related to the number of "likes" you receive. No practical value, but more of an encouragement to keep up the good posts. I could be wrong of course. If I am don't bother liking this post. Hah!

I agree with you doc. Of course I'm too old to get any other kind of trophy.

I am continually amazed at how many businesses seem to do everything they can to discourage customers.

The St. Joseph Outlet store is just a small store/warehouse operation located in a corner of what used to be the Stetson hat factory. The rest of the bldg has been subleased to someone else. They only have 2-3 women that work there. Probably 75-80% of their inventory is shantung Western hats & Western felts. Most everything is factory seconds & returns from retailers. The small fedora inventory is mostly Stetson & Dobbs. They also have belts & Western bling.

I've seen over the road truck drivers stop & will buy 25-50 hats at a time. Those probably end up being resold on eBay as "promotional" & "clearance" items.

I'll be honest, I gave it *serious* consideration after seeing your response! Alas, I only had 2 1/2 hours free Friday morning before the wedding events (rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, etc) and other family events started. I wish I had taken an extra day off and came home today, then I could have made the 4hr trip yesterday after everything was over. <sigh>

So ... does anyone know any stores or customer makers near Birmingham, AL? I'm taking my dad (83yo) down the first weekend of August to see his remaining brother (87yo) before his brother's Alzheimer's reaches the point where he won't recognize my dad.

It wouldn't have been open on Sunday, I don't think. Not sure it's even open on Mondays. It's not a typical retail store.

I've got thousands of likes both directions and haven't got a dime yet for them!

Just for future reference, according to their Farcebook page they're open Monday through Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m..

What else? Status. You'll have to be here a little longer to learn about the secret handshake and the prizes given for personal milestones such as number of posts and likes received.
