I just met Conor today at michigan state university rodeo. Got my 50/50 straw shaped by Conor. Had him touch up my 100x american chocolate. Was an awesome experience.

[@20Hikecdt23]

What a neat video. Thank you. Really interesting as I’m working up to get my third hat. Thanks again to you and your guest.

[@CowboyCartel]

I’m glad you liked. Thanks for the comment and for watching

November 20th you have 42.2K members on the fb page ...woohoo. Great interview !!

[@CowboyCartel]

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it. If we could get half those people to follow the KZbin we would be doing good 😂. But we are very happy the group has grown so well

[@JoseSalazar-ei1oy]

Great work. Keep the videos coming.

I’m from Southern California and have bought hats at Jobe’s twice.

[@DanBCooper]

Glad to see you back Joe. Respect to Conor too, cool guest. I hope they get more help like him at Jobes, I've been trying to get a hat from them for awhile, always out of stock.

[@CowboyCartel]

Thank you! Glad to be back. It’s been hard for everyone for a while, I know jobe is getting a shipment next week but probably straw. What are you looking for? And thanks for watching.

[@DanBCooper]

@@CowboyCartel Yes sir. Been wanting another 5050 - 4 1/4" Brim. Love mine with the rancher/cattleman crease, but wanted to try the " Biggs " or " Cash " crown.

[@CowboyCartel]

I know he has a shipment coming in next week. Keep an eye out. I have him holding one for my wife too. You gotta call, those probably won’t make it to the website.

[@DanBCooper]

@@CowboyCartel thank you for that advice Joe 👍 . I think that’s been my issue, I’ve never actually called, only relied on the website. Also you may find it amusing, here I am with a paper clip poking out the lacquer on my 5050 and 7800 after hearing you and Conor talk about it on the pod haha. I never noticed, but now I can’t un-notice, so here I am. Thanks again.

@@DanBCooper 🤣

What kind of quality are you guys doing for your online shoppers at Jobes? I hope you guys are putting the same amount of time and effort for the invisible customer. Im looking to pick up an American hat at jobes but i can't make the cross country travel to get there.

[@UnsanctionedTV_]

I know the numbers cited were at American but no wonder my American straw from jobes came crooked 🤣 they shaped it in a minute and a half

[@smackdadious]

I had things to say when i was listening to this on my commute home. I forgot lol. Im glad I got into the gus shape as I dont see it very often 25 aint young. It aint old either. (I may or may not be 25 myself) I feel that, i drive 55 miles one way every day for work which works out to an hour and a half one way drive time.

[@CowboyCartel]

Well if you think of it, write it down and we can discuss 🤣.. I like the Gus, I think it’s useful for sure and a cool hat. Just not my style so I would end up using it only every once in a while.

[@smackdadious]

@@CowboyCartel noted, will do lol

[@gregholden8812]

Whats the best straw hat? Im looking for a summer hat that will last and will hold its shape?

[@freemanshaw2168]

Disappointed that you cut out Lionel. Can’t give you a thumbs up without Lionel. Lionel offered a different and honest point of view. Bring back Lionel.

[@brandonalonzo3967]

Brownwood is only 120 miles from Fort Worth…..

[@emojiman4560]

Guys, always remember... "TIPS" are TAXABLE. GIFTS Aren't. When I lived in Las Vegas and worked in the Tourist Industry, I NEVER RECEIVED A "TIP" I just received GIFTS as an Application for Doing An EXCELLENT JOB and Everyone Enjoyed themselves!!!

[@CowboyCartel]

That's great info. I am sure I have never gotten a tip myself... Thanks for the comment, and thanks for watching!
