I can tell you that we moved to have more overall room. The house we owned before was about 1700 sqft, the house we have now is closer to 2850sqft and has walk in closets in each bedroom and a half finished basement. The need to move was obviously for shoes and hats. Now we have sold off a lot of hats down to about 40 mens fedora hats, but still have over 150 pairs of mens dress shoes (mostly vintage) and 40 some pairs of mens boots (Western, redwings, etc) and then my collection of heels and pumps, 80 or so pairs and 27 pairs of vintage shoes and boots) and my 14 fedora hats. So you will find the move if into a larger place will be a blessing after you make the move and find new spots for stacking all your personal attire up, including suits and shirts and dresses and trousers....

There's a List , and a picture of some swatches of Beaver Felt Hat Body Colors . Here they are ...

Well , ... it says the list is too big to Upload , but its the complete list of available colors . Pecan is the lightest of the Darker Browns , and Natural is the Darkest of the Lighter Browns . I think there's a Sand in between Sahara and Bone . SB is greyish tint Tan , and Bone is Tan without the greyish tint , but those two are the lightest of the browns . Silver Mist is in the Greys and the lightest of them , Black (of course) is the Darkest .

That's an Oreana Crease Bob ! SWEET Hat ! Thanks Bama ! Great Pictures ... . Really Good Movie . Love that Hat !

Head-Lines , Michael went up on his prices , again , $25 . He's offering Plastic Liners , too , now . I didn't opt for one , I like my noggin to breath , but its good to know .

Yes, I was just informed of the price increase this AM, as I asked to get back in line yesterday. It's inevitable as his work gets more popular and he gets busy. He indicated it was to offset investment in new equipment, but I blame all youse guys with 4-5 hats. Now he's busy, popular, and his prices are increasing!

Oh, well, maybe I'll give up drinking to cover the price increase.

Hey, stop laughing!

Richard! Great to hear from you. I've been wondering where you were. Good to see you posting.

Nice color line up. Color is at times everything as you have to be able to adapt what you wear with your Fedora. However, a beautiful hat can actually be worn with anything if you want as it is, my Husband says he would even consider wearing his Akubra hat anyplace and anytime...even...in...the...shower! Hahahah! NO I won't post any of THOSE pictures....wee hahahah!

The Gannon hat line up is a fresh approach to the look of Fedora hats. That is also why I love what some of the other hatters do, like Esther. I most likely will have Mr. Gannon contact me soon, as I did shoot him an email late last night to see about getting one made. After that, I am sure to have Esther make us one more...I think for me! I want a hat with a "purple" hat body, as us Gals like different colors at times then you fellows would. I think I will go with a purple hat body, and white and yellow ribbons to sort of match what she made for Daniel.
