In Reply to: Anyone know if HJ got the felt in for the Poet? posted by agent5 on August 22, 2001 at 15:54:28:

: I talked to Mr. Swales on 8/1 and he told me to call back in one month because the felt had not yet come in and to keep my fingers crossed. P.Botwright told me that there are only two manufacturers of this felt in the world now that they know of and that it does take time for them to stock it. I just wondered if anyone ordered a hat recently or maybe spoke to him about this? Thanks, AGENT5

FYI - HJ does not take felt blanks and make hats. They get premade hats from vendors - in the case of the Poet, it is from a company in Spain called Borsalino. They do modify these hats with respect to cutting brims, changing ribbons, and some limited reblocking.

Cheers!
