I wish I had the time to make straws Brent, as I really enjoy doing it, but I've been up to my a** in fur felt and saw dust lately. Also, it remains to be seen whether or not my straw hat apprentice has the same level of persistence and dedication to the craft that I do. It is not a process I would recommend for the impatient, unfocused, or easily frustrated. On the bright side, my semi-retirement is eight short months away so, one way or the other, I will definitely be rolling out the straw line before the summer of 2020. Thanks for your continued interest and support my friend. I'll definitely keep you all posted.
You could always have them made in China and switch to plastic “straw” and then license your name to the Bollman Hat Co.
I’ll wait for a true craftsman/craftswoman(?) to make me a quality hat I’ll wear for years and then pass on to future generations. Summer 2020 will, sadly, be here before we know it.
