Newbie - Hatbox Modifications
Thanks for the good words. Yes, I do a lot of bicycling, at least I did when I was in Chicago. I always thought a hatbox and some type of single outfit garment bag backpack for the daily bike commuter would be great products. I got around to the hatbox at least. -

Newbie - Hatbox Modifications
