What a hat from Aaron's...

[Jay]

Alright, I'm interested as well.

 

[BuddyJ]

Go ahead and add my name to the list if it's not already, please.

 

[Stoney]

Sorry Aaron

You'll have to take me off of the list for now. I was hesitant about getting the brim trimmed down.
I just bought two vintage Italian Fedoras, a Capello and a Bosalino both 2 inch Brims and a third, at this time, will put me in the doghouse for sure.

Maybe in a few months...

Add me to the list

Aaron . . .

If you haven't already, add me to the list of those who want one of these fine hats if you reorder. It looks dead on my favorite, vintage, "almond" color Champ, which I have about worn to death.

 

[Aaron Hats]

As soon as I have a few minutes, hopefully tonight or tomorrow, I'll put together the list and post it here.

Thanks,

Aaron

All right, here's the scoop. For FL members on this list the price will be $140 which includes the hat, Aaron Hats hat box and hat brush. This price is discounted because these are guaranteed sales and a 50% deposit will be collected. FL members who order after these hats are in stock the price will be $155. Non-members price is $175.

I'm going to start this ball rolling by contacting Bailey this week.

Sharpetoys, I don't think grey is available but will certainly check on it.

Aaron

 

[Chanfan]

Yeah, a grey/silver hat is what I'm looking for as my second hat as well, but almond is what I'd pick out of the current lineup.

 

[Fletch]

If you need an even dozen...

...heck, if you really sell me on the almond, I'll take another color as well!

FANTASTIC.

I am on board and would like to pre-order one of these fine hats in Almond. I have my deposit burning a hole in my pocket . . .

So, how do we go about it? E-mail? Through the Web-site?

Just let us know how to proceed.

 

[rikrdo]

Do you accept Newbie requests as well ???
I would love to get under one of your Almond lids....

 

[Aaron Hats]

I should have all the final details by Monday or Tuesday then I can put together a final list of who wants what.

Stay tuned.

Aaron

 

[Aaron Hats]

We're on! I got word from Bailey today that they can make these for us again. I'm still waiting to hear whether they can do size 7 7/8 and about the request for the grey color. I should know by Thursday about this.

For those on the list and anybody else who wants in on this deal you need to call/email/PM me with your info such as your name, hat color and size. I'll also need a $70 deposit. You can mail me a check or call me with credit card info.

I'm in the store everyday, 10am to 5pm eastern, except Wednesdays.

Thank you to all for your business.

Aaron

Bad news

It is with great regret that I have to cancel the orders for the 50/50 fedora. This past Tuesday I was told by a rep at Bailey that they could make this hat for us again with no problem. Today when I called to find out about larger sizes and other colors I was told by this same person that only the black color was available. When I asked what changed in the last two days she said that it sometimes takes a while to hear back from the production manager. From this, I gathered that the answer she gave me on Tuesday was one she made up without talking with the production manager. This is no excuse as I should have talked to the manager myself instead of relying on a customer service rep.

I've already contacted those on the list but felt I should also mention it here and eat some crow.

My sincerest apologies.

Aaron

 

[BuddyJ]

How disappointing. Sounds like the customer service person is a bit clueless. Can you talk to the production manager directly and present your case?

 

[AlanC]

Is this simply a matter of limited availability of the older felt they used on the first run?

 

[Fletch]

Sounds like another case of "we have buyers, we just don't wanna sell this because it will compete with our other products"...
