Not these.

 

An Aussie bootleg hatmaker???

 

Scandalous.

There's Stetsons and other hats that are also sold as and are called Stetsons, both.  

 

Molly's was known for his Stetson hat, that was his trademark.

Interesting!

But you keep quoting wiki.  That's unreliable.

 

It's like shouting at someone who doesn't understand english
