Obviously everyones tag line changes with the number of posts. Is there somewhere on the site where this information is posted? I have searched FAQs but cannot find. We have the same system on another forum to which I belong. Just wanting to know how long I will be "New In Town"
Not sure if Art is still working on vintage hats or only making new ones now? It would be well worth it to send to him, maybe he can match the binding from his collection of vintage ribbon stock.
Mike, You are fortunate the boater suits your features. Try and save the leather if you can, I don't believe there is any source for the sweat bands used in boaters.
