[jpdesign]

I am posting this one introduction hear because it seems not many people read the merchant section. I am a new sponsor of the board.
______________________________________________________________

Some of you here know about me, here is some more info. For those who do not, Hi.

My name is Jimmy Pierce. I am 28 years old, which I believe makes me the youngest business owning hatter in the US, if I am wrong, let me know so I can stop saying it. I have been working with hats as a job in some form or another for over nine years. I started at Peters Bros. in 1998. I worked there for six years off and on. Their I first learned to clean and repair hats, and later to make them. After that I worked in other stores, and made hats on my own. Last year I decided it was time to open my own store. It is in Granbury, TX on the historic town square.

These are examples of hats I have made. All of my hats are hand made by me. I use almost all antique tools. While I am more interested in Dress hats, I also make western hats, and anything in between. I work with both beaver and rabbit. A beaver fedora is $300, a rabbit fedora is $150. Bound edges are extra.

These are some various hats that have been commissioned.

I have a decent selection of vintage hats, which will be updated by the end of the weekend on my website. I try to have only hats that are in like new condition.

I also do renovations and repairs. I went to an antiques store and bought the worst looking hat they had just to renovate as an example.

After

In my store I also carry the Royall Frangrance line, as well as some shaving products from Taylor of Bond St., London, although I may change lines soon, If I find one made in the USA.

I also carry luggage made by the Nakona Baseball Glove company. Nakona is the last company that makes Baseball gloves in the US. They have started making luggage from their baseball glove leather.

At any given time I will also have on hand a selection of handmade knives and turned wood pens. when I can find them I stock vintage cufflinks and Handkerchiefs.
