: Indyfans,

: Iam still waiting for reply from HJ, however, the man on the internet
: Ken, who you can reach the website at www.herald-and-heart.demon.co.uk
: told me this

: "Dear Indy,

: As far as I know, Herbert Johnson do not now make hats. They buy them then put in their own label. If you are happy with the price then you were not cheated"

: regards Ken"

: So, one thing we know is that HJ does not make the hats. He uses
: Stetsons. So, contact the guy ask him your own questions. Iam still
: asking.

: Regards; post your thought on this one

I think you may very well be wrong on the HJ hats. Sure they probaly do acquire the hats they sell from a hat maker, but it does not follow that these are Stetsons. Their hats are more than likely made over there somewhere, not the U.S. The fact that they sell the taller crowned hat testifies to this. You can't, to my knowledge buy an American dress hat with the tall crown. We just don't make them here. regards, steve
