Hello everyone,
I am Jeff, looong-time lurker, finally a joiner. I have been wearing and owning hats for the past 35 years (long-time customer of @besdor - who I see no longer posts). After all this time I finally felt that I should look into restoring and refurbishing my old ones and those of friends and family. Long story short, once you start looking into that you look into acquiring more hats to refurbish (and wear). Mostly interested in dress fur and straw fedoras, I suppose one day I going to try making some in fur felt. I work in IT, but since I own the company I am no longer as hands-on as I was when I was starting out. Looks like my hands found their way to my hats. Wish me luck. Good to be here with you all.

Jeff
Welcome Jeff We look forward to seeing you post your hats.

New member, have lurked a bit and decided to join. Early 60s, retired, starting to get into hats for everyday wear. Have a couple of wool Stetsons, and received a nice Akubra felt from my wife for Christmas (Banjo Paterson).
