Agreed. I've never seen him in a dress hat so if he wore one his image would be thrown off. It would be the talk of the town. It would probably boost hat sales through the roof but it ain't happening.

I like them. I have my eye on this one pork pie Meyer The Hatter has. You're pretty lucky to live where you do.

Thank you Lefty! That answer was right in front of my eyes!
