Went to pick up burgers last night at 5 Guys. The guy who I presume was the manager walked out of the back, looked at me in my Granite Gannon, and said, "And how are you? Now that hat makes a statement!"
I told him that I hoped it was a good statement! He assured me he really liked the hat and it led into a great conversation while I waited for my burger. Nice guy and I'm glad I met him and we talked.
On another note, one of the AF leadership (non military) approached me the other day to ask me where I get my hats. He noted that he was interested in getting something to round out his wardrobe and that I wear nice hats (not Target hats). So we had a conversation about vintage, custom, and new hats and he asked me to email him some links. So I suggested our local hatter and Batsakes down in Cincy, and pointed him to Gannon, Art Fawcett, Northwest and Alley Kat, and mentioned other customs he could check out. Let's see if he takes the plunge...
As for juries? I'll never serve on one. Tell them you're an engineer and they usually toss you out on your ear.
