You should add some photos of the hat in the Diamond Authority thread. Very nice!

Hats in the Belfry has a sale on the premier in corn hill. I'd get one but they don't have any in my enormous noggin size.

Hi, Gabe
Delmonico's has the Cornhill in 7 7/8 and 8, and they're also having a sale. They also have all of the other colors but only up to 7 3/4.

With the sale and a 20% coupon code (email20), it brings it down into the ~$150.00 range...

I bought one recently in my usual size and it's too tight. I'm going to exchange, but should I order up a size? All my other Stetsons, which are not premiers are the same size. Did I just get a dud?

Interestingly, the open crown Stetsons have had a rep for fitting a tad big. My Stetsonian was very loose when I first got it, but has since conformed and fitted itself to me just fine. The Racine I purchased at the outlet was pretty true to size and hasn't varied. Did your hat come in a 150th Anniversary Box, or with any of the stickers, etc. that come with those? From your liner tip photo, it may be an older stock model, from 2014 or so. It could have drawn up a bit sitting on the shelf?

They are actually new made Stetson Premier Stratoliners from the "Royal Deluxe" series of hats. They come open crown and I "bashed" them myself. I also purchased a "Stetsonian" from the same series. I am pleased with their look and quality....

Too much nomenclature.

As opposed to what? Waving your hands around? It's a product. Have to describe quality levels some way. For some reason, I don't think "Good, Better, Best" has that same ring to it.

This is especially true when you have an inquiry about new made hats and you use the company's own language to differentiate their line of products. Someone may wish to purchase what they have seen, and in this instance the company in question (Stetson) has no less than three (3) versions of this particular line of hats.
Best,

As opposed to just marketing one grade of great quality hat.

why would any company ever do that ?

that is terrible marketing and would be horrible for their bottom line

there has to be quality levels for every financial situation and demographic
