Thank you, Jeff. Nice! Hold on to your hat. Enjoy the show!

Very cool one, Bob. Thanks for posting. We tend to forget how widepsread the use of the bowler was and just how many variations of it there were.

Love this one, Alan. A marvel of hatmaking really considering the cone started out three times as big as the hat and being that light and thin. Thank you, Don. You're not mistaken; well spotted. Thanks, Steve. Congratulations to you and Tina, Robert. Looking expertly dressed for the...

Gorgeous hat, Nathan. I remember eyeballing that one when Bob had it for sale.

Thank you, Joe!
