Love at first sight? What Balloney!!...or, does it really happen?

Ridiculous prices
feel the pain I'l weigh in on this. Five years ago, heck even 2 years ago prices were much more reasonable. Even now depending on your size, decent hats can still be had online at decent prices. What I call a decent price is under 30 bucks.. But the market has changed due to fad... -

We all know how a hat can get smell wise, but that scent from those years ago stays with me to this... -
