I just tried to buy a Resistol Touch of mink hat, but I got outbid. It was a beautiful $2000 hat, it was just too big in size and brim for me to...

My neighbor seemed to really like the hat. He said he's been trying hats on when he sees them, but he hadn't found anything.
I think I'm going to give this Bailey to my neighbor. I went over this morning to talk about a stray dog and he said he liked my hat (the...
This morning we have a old Bond Fifteen stingy brim, made of imported hare and beaver. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
This is my 3X Beaver Open Road. I haven't steamed it at all, I've been wearing it with a center dent. [ATTACH] And here's my 4X Tony Llama...

I've been working on the brim this morning, I finally got it where it will snap now. This is going to be one of my work hats when I'm not wearing...
