So I got a Stetson - not intentionally - but it was the style hat I was looking for and then I thought, "can't get more American than a Stetson." And the tag attached to the hat echoed that statement: "In 1865, John B. Stetson fashioned the hat that would become American independence... Today everything that carries the Stetson brand stays true to these American values." And then below that on a sticker the irony; "Made in China." I would have paid double for it if it was made in the U.S.A. Nice hat but I'm let down.
