    wool top hats

    When I wear it the FAR majority of people can see the difference. I usually would not give the benifit of the doubt to the average american on the street when it comes to this but when they see the real thing the far majority and yes average person was able to tell. It is because of the silk...

    wool top hats

    NO-Peroid. Unless you are looking for a novelty item for "fancy-dress". A wool top hat is nothing more than a costume prop. The reason I say this is not only is it clearly not the real thing but when you wear a real silk top hat around just about every person will know it's a real top hat simply...

    New Miller Hats

    Disappointment at Batsakes

    I don't think, I KNOW Gus cares about his customers. Gus is great guy and a great hatter he just has quirks like all of us.:) I don't think this is a common issue with him in fact it is a far exception. I am sorry this had to be the exception.:( Now I too did not get the pinch I wanted on the...

    OOPS, thats what happens when I skim through text and I don't read the whole thing. Indycop, why do you like the 8-point service cap but not the round service cap. Is it just because the specific round service cap your department uses is made out of polyester, ours are made ot of wool? Dou...
