In my experience he's been really competitive plus being a Lounger.
I do like to support other Loungers. It's also the best price I've found so far. Wish they carried the Stetsonian.

The Stetsonian has been discontinued, so you're going to have to luck out on old stock at this point.
Sent directly from my mind to yours
Of course it's been discontinued. I convince myself that I need one and now they're gone. At least my luck is consistent.
It also explains why I'm starting to see them popping up at scalpers' prices.

JJ Hat Center still seems to have some stock - in Mink, Tawny, and Caribou. I wouldn't mind a Caribou one myself, but $245.00 and I'm almost to a new custom, so...
In a word....no. And from what I have seen ALL the Carabou Premier Strats are like that..........Any idea why your Caribou did not have the same flange as the other hats? I'm close to pulling the trigger on a Caribou but I want the brim to have the same flange as all my others. Thanks.
Wellll...I did stumble upon and ordered a New York fom him today. I went to have a look at the Strats, already have them.......i'm thinking it was meant to be.........lolI'm thinking of adding a Caribou to my family if Premier Stratoliners. I'm looking at ordering again from one2miniranch.com at $183 with free shipping. Are any of you aware of someone selling them for less?

Will do Deadly....lol.....Phantom Grey. I have carabou, but no Phantom Grey, and my first New York. So, it will be something different...sort of..lolI've come close to ordering the New York a few times. Which color did you get? I'd like to read a review when you receive it.
the New York is probably the best made modern Stetson ... the felt is probably the best you will find in a modern hat
but there is something odd about the proportions though ... the block is just not tall enough for the amount of brim the hat has
I just didn't like it ... sold it
tough to compare customs with mass produced hats ...Thank you for the insight. I was on a razor's edge in pulling the trigger. How would you compare the felt with Gannon's beaver hats?

the felt on the New York is very nice ...Matt did a wonderful job with it ... just the hat itself is off to me ... the brim swallows the crown
Nice work. I like the pinches. Shows that you can shape these modern Stetsons with style. I sure like the @moontheloon diamond in my Sage Strat.OK, while I LOVE the Stratoliner, other than the Premier Model, the modern creations are fairly low crowned and pre-creased. Well low crown and my head do not really match up.....so here is my re-bash of a Standard Modern Royal in Walnut. As you can see I got the absolute most I could out of the crown......I also reformed the pinches and added my personal touches.

I don't see why you would be disappointed ... the Premier hats are nice ... Cornhill is the best color in my opinionI'm not entirely sure what possessed me to do this, but JJ Hat Center has a sale, and I just ordered Premier Stratoliners in Black, Cornhill, and Silverbelly, with a side order of Stetsonian in Tawny. Will this be a delight, or will our hero be disappointed. Stay tuned...

... and the Stetsonian is discontinued and quite a nice piece as well ... you were lucky to snag up some stock while it still exists
I've owned both models ... no complaints here
I think you will be pleased with all of them
