I totally agree. Esther is fantastic to work with. My first ever custom hat is on its way from Belgium to Australia and I'm really looking forward to receiving it.
Art, why did it make sense "for a while"? Are you suggesting it doesn't make sense anymore to have a size adjustment like that (I know modern hats aren't generally made that way anymore). What has changed?
I've read that somewhere too. I've also come across a similar explanation but memoraialising coal miners instead.
I think this article makes more sense. Moon's photo give the article credibility
