Quite honestly it is the masses and the $50 hat that has me doing ???+ mens hats a month. If I only catered to the nice folks here who appreciate a quality hat, I wouldn't have a business. I am thinking of getting a private label hat done though, and I think my deal with Beaver Brand may make this possible. I have to check and find the right hat, because I don't want to put the store name on the standard factory wool hat. And that, we have ALL discussed before.

This would be the hat.....

First, I just checked Fedora Store a minute ago and I saw the new store brand lids. Three great choices that fit most styles. You and my wife are causing me a bit of grief. I've been banned from buying any (more) hats until my birthday(I think I know what I'll be getting. . .) but I want 3 or 4 from you! As in, I want them now. Oh, why must I be tormented so! :(

Beaver Brand

If you order one, or three, let us know how they are. I'm curious about these Beaver Brand hats - and I don't see any showoff posts in the Lounge about them yet. Longish lead-times though...

I've got my eye on their 2" brimmed "old west" Derby now - due to the evil Bowler thread! :rage:

Duane - does B.B. use the colored powders like Stetson?

I have been informed by BB that their felts hoods comes colored already, and they do not add any colored powders to the felt. Incidently, if you want a Stratoliner replica, the hat pictured above is it, just order the option of the 4 ligne band! All other dimensions are the same, and it is a quality 10% beaver 90% rabbit mix, appropriate for the price point. I must plug Art Fawcett though for quality workmanship if you desire a 100% beaver hat.

I guess being single does have one or two advantages... :p
