Hi,
This is my first post to the forum although I have been lurking for a couple of months. My wife convinced me to buy my first hat 2 months ago, a dark Guerra. Since hats are like potato chips I quickly bought a grey Bailey, a Stetson Breakers and a black knock about NY Hat Company stingy. I started reading the forum to get info on caring for them. I'm from Minnesota.
My wife was in Memphis the last week for work so I dropped in for the weekend. I went to Mister Hats first but they didn't have what I wanted in my size. I was looking around in the forum this morning and saw info on Buckaroo Hatters and decided to visit. My wife and I drove up there and I have to say the experience was great. Mike was terrific and I also met RBH and another forum member ( who's name unfortunately escapes me right now, but he was good to talk to as well). To make a long story short I bought 2 custom hats as well as a really nice straw that was made from blanks that were found in the back of a factory storeroom dating from 40-50 years ago. My wife ended up buying a straw too. So 4 hats later here we are. The quality of the hats Mike had on display were first rate and the service was great. I'm really looking forward to seeing the finished customs. I'll post some pictures of the straws in a week or so and the customs when they come in. Overall it was a lot of fun talking to everyone and learning a lot about hats and custom fitting. Turns out I have an odd shaped head ( my wife has been having some fun with that since we left the shop... ) technically a 7 1/4 but elongated and narrow on the front sides so a 7 3/8 works better ( or as my wife says, "slightly pin headed"). Anyway, now that I've broken the ice I'll probablly start posting more often. I'd like to thank Mike, RBH and the other member ( please fill in the blank, he's a CPA with a really nice grey hat) for a fine time.
