Hats in Jackson Mississippi?

[Benzadmiral]

. . . Is there any other hatters in New Orleans?

I wish. Not that Meyer's is bad -- far from it! They're very helpful, knowledgeable, and welcoming. (I ran into two members of the family last weekend at a restaurant, and they remembered me, though I haven't been there in some months.)

There might be some pricey "boutiques" in the French Quarter, but as far as I know Meyer's bought up the stock of all the competition when those places went out of business years ago. If there are "hatters" listed in the phone book, I suspect they just sell hipster cloth hats and bucket hats, the stuff you also find at Target and Walmart.

I was strictly referring to the mink felt?Unless Temples are all made this way which I didn't think they were but I've been known to be wrong on many occasions

I think we have our wires crossed. The felt isn't made from mink fur; that's just the color name Stetson gave it. Stetson does have a beaver-fur felt model, the Pinnacle, I think, but it's quite pricey. The Temple and the other regular models are rabbit, I'm sure.

It would probably be prohibitively expensive. Have ya priced a mink coat lately? Possibly there might be fur hats made of the little weasels' fur, like the big Russian hat George sports in an episode of "Seinfeld," but not fedoras.

Oh those type hats I know of I was strictly meaning hats of the Fedora type,plus PETA would be all over us anyway,and as for pricing a mink coat well I must say I've given up wearing them as of late(haha)

Mink is blended with beaver & ermine for top shelf felt bodies....

That for sure would be way off my price radar. Cool to know . . .

Hey Mr.Benz I didn't say they were good hat shops I just said that there were 18 listed in the Yellow Pages(haha)

Just think how good you'd look on your horse in that hat,it's got your name written all over it Mr.Dean.And you think the wife complains about Fedoras can you say WWIII
Good job at the show,anytime you make the finals you really can't complain.
