    Men's Dress Hat Stores, in New York City.

    bencraft Hats is good one in NYC. I ordered two Borsalino hats from them a few weeks ago but they were a little small for the size. I sent them back and talked with one of the guys there who recommended a replacement. Did it for two stetsons :)

    All You Need to Know About Hat Etiquette

    lol I know this may sound funny but I was asked to remove my hat in the lobby before a concert :) I did as I was told and also apologized. I thought I was being a brute but I think it maybe a southern thing because another gentleman with a hat was also asked to remove his hat in the lobby too.

    I think my hat is dying! Anyone know hat CPR?

    I like the quality of the jet more than the Dayton. The jet is made a bit better imo and it fits like a glove. If Dobbs would make a golden coach Dayton. I would be in heaven :)
