How to contact Winchester hat corp?

I called them this afternoon & no one picked up the phone. I want to order a raw body.

Any suggestions?

Thanx!!!

From my recollection, Winchester has stopped selling on a body-by-body basis. They will basically only sell to you if you own a hat shop and you're buying in bulk. -M

That stinks, why did they deciede on that?

Try calling Monday! Winchester is sometimes works a short week.

I think Winchester's operation wants to finish by about noon on a Friday. I think they do sell 'singles' to their established customers; I don't know what it takes to become an established customer. I suspect the price is higher for a single, even to an established customer. Greg Fiske and Jeff Teters will take good care of you, they'll give you a tour of the plant if you call and drop by. They WANT you to become a customer, but they are not a retail operation, no teeny-bopper sales associates to ring up a spot sale.

Weird, I could have sworn that either Art or Steve Delk told me Winchester no longer sold to amateurs. Something about how there were so many people wanting to buy singles that it wasn't cost effective for them. Something like that. Ah well, maybe my memory's bad. -M

humorous! They definitely want all the business they can get, and maybe I should just stop trying to guess whether or not they make one-time single sales. I was guessing, just makes practical sense to me. Call them next week.

I have ordered a single body from them before, but that was 2 to 3 years ago.
