I’ve been unpacking all these new Stetson fedoras and I realized I don’t have enough room for them all. Help me clear them out. Most stores put the old stuff on sale so here’s your chance to get a brand new style or color Stetson fedora on sale. This is good this weekend only, until midnight on Sunday, June 1,2008. No coupon is required, just purchase a Stetson fedora and the discount will automatically be applied when you checkout.
Have a great weekend,
Aaron

Another new arrival this week is the Stetson Windham. This is a hat that we did a lot of special orders on so we decided to stock them.

This is a really nice fedora. The proportions are right and the binding on the brim is a really nice touch. It’s available in either the Mink Brown shown above or in Black. It is fur felt and has a 2 1/2″ snap brim.
Get a fedora on,

I just received a big shipment of Stetson fur felt fedoras so over the next few days I’ll post what has come in. You’ll find additional colors of the Temple and Chatham as well as a couple new styles like the Stetson Pelham 100% beaver fedora shown here:

The 100% beaver Stetson Pelham has a 2 1/2″ snap brim, leather sweatband and a satin lining. The color shown here is Caribou but can also be special ordered in Black or Mink.
Get a Stetson hat on,

We just received three new Panama fedora hats by Scala. Scala, a brand of Dorfman Pacific, has these boring style numbers for their hats so I decided to name these after some famous US presidents; the Jefferson, Adams and Reagan. These are all great Panama hats that each have a little different style to them. I think you’ll agree that these are comfortable, affordable and portray a very classic style no matter what you wear the hat with.
Here’s the Reagan shown on yours truly:

Back in stock…the ladies Tilley Hemp Hat. The TH8 Hemp Hat is specifically designed for women.
The TH8 Hemp Hat is, indeed, elegant yet hard-working. Can be worn brim up all the way or jauntily tipped to set the tone for any occasion. Add your personal panache with a scarf, vibrant hat band or eye-catching pin. The all-around wide brim offers a lifetime investment in sun protection and style. And best of all…it comes in multiple sizes. We frequently hear from women who need a small or extra large hat size that they just can’t find anything to fit. Once we show them the Tilley TH8 they fall in love with it.


Get ‘em while they’re hot…or rather before it gets too hot.

Well, almost hot news. I am working on importing a new hat brand. This brand is located outside the US, has a great reputation for quality and nobody else in the USA is carrying this hat. The first styles that we’ll be stocking are more outdoor type hats, not dressy. They’ll also be great for both men and women. So what’s the new hat brand? I’m not going to tell you just yet. I’m going to make you wait on it for a few days. Anybody want to take a guess?
Get a _ _ _ _ _ hat on,

Twice a year we shoot a new tv commercial that runs locally here in the Mt. Washington Valley of New Hampshire. We were able to shoot the new commercial this morning and hope to have it edited and loaded here by next Friday or shortly after. I like to show the commercial on the blog because it shows the store and many of our best selling hats to those of you who may never get to come visit us in person. This time around we dedicated a large block of the commercial to the Tilley hats but also highlighted Indiana Jones hats, Toby Keith and Kenny Chesney hats as well as Ivy and Newsboy caps, Stetson hats and our great collection of hats for women.
Stay tuned,
Aaron

How’s this for the ultimate packable hat…the Tilley LT1B bucket hat. Like most all other Tilley Hats it’s guaranteed for life, insured against loss, repels rain and provides excellent sun protection. But the best part is that it folds into itself making it the ultimate packable hat. Check it out:

And it folds into its own internal pocket to become this:

This hat is absolutely amazing!
The Tilley TWP1 Waterproof Hat. Not only is this hat guaranteed for life and insured against loss like most Tilley hats but check this out from Tilley description:
Not only are all the seams sealed, but the exterior Nylon is laminated with a waterproof backing, making this Hat a superb rain stopper. For those days when the weather is a mite unpredictable, a zipper venting system allows for maximum airflow between downpours. When the rain eases, the YYK™ zipper vent allows air to circulate throughout the mesh interior for coolness and comfort. A 3M Scotchlite™ reflective hatband, zipper pull and wind cord make the Waterproof Hat more visible in heavy precipitation or at dawn, dusk or nighttime. An interior size adjuster ensures a custom fit. And if all that wasn’t enough, it provides maximum sun protection as well, rated at an “EXCELLENT” UPF 50+, the maximum rating given.

At a time when so many other hat companies keep cranking out the same ol’ styles and fabrics Tilley keeps on innovating and is truly “Leader of the Pack”.
Congratulations Tilley!

The fourth installment of the Indiana Jones movies, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, will hit the theaters on May 22. It’s been nearly 20 years since the last Indy movie but the anticipation for this movie is just as strong as the last movie. We have seen a gradual increase in the requests for Indiana Jones hats over the last couple months but that demand has skyrocketed in the few couple days. The most popular Indiana Jones hats are the wool felt fedora and the fur felt fedora but people are even scooping up the Indiana Jones ballcaps.


Don’t wait any longer…buy your Indiana Jones hat and start your own adventure today.
