: : : Correct me if I'm mistaken Michaelson...

: : : If I'm not mistaken there is a connection with this train of thought and what led to the discovery of Peters Brothers. Some intrepid Indyfan in Mississippi (?) came across Peters Brothers either because of the fact that they use the same felt supplier from Italy that HJ uses, or for some other reason that escapes me and the connection with the HJ supplier was just one of those epiphanies?

: : : Anyway, for the time being I'll put my money in the Peters Brothers camp. Just following my gut.

: : : Cheers!

: : : Patterson

: : That was my old buddy Steve, who drops in here now and again. Steve is the original discoverer of Peter Brothers, and first alerted me via email with the details and web address, which (with Steve's blessings) I then released the to the Indyfan forum. Regards. Michaelson

: ....that Peters carries being the same stock that HJ uses for the "Poet". Could you elaborate? Thanks.
: Cheers!

: Ellison

Yes indeed. The last conversation I had with HJ, and this was during the dry spell everyone experienced when HJ was out of Poets, was that HJ was waiting for delivery of theie Borsalino stock to make up the Poet styled fedora they catalog. Peter's bros. lists the Borsalino on their webpage, and if you read the description, it's from the same area that HJ receives their rough stock from as well. All this information fell into place about the same time Steve contacted me regarding the discovery of the Peters Bros. website. I believe Indiana John was on the same trail of the Borsalino HJ stock as I was during this time period, so if he's on line, maybe he can add to the story as well. I've had so many emails I can't keep track of who's done what lately. (grins) That's my end of the information trail regarding the Borsalino. Regards. Michaelson
