This past Thursday I was able to attend the Headwear Association Dinner. It was held at the Boathouse in Central Park in NYC. It was a great time getting to chat with members of the hat industry.

Here is a picture of the meeting

After the meeting we went out and side with some folks from RHE Hatco and DelMonico Hatter was presented with a plaque for being the 2013 Dress hat retailer of the year.

With my Hats
Oh my god! This looks so fun! I have never heard of this. I would love to go, which is doable for me since I am in DC. Look at all the elderly gentlemen with their hats and smiling faces...they all look so adorable! I looked at their site and if this annual dinner is held at the same time next year I probably won't be able to make it because I will most likely be out of the country. I will definitely keep up with this organization and their events. I don't think I could wear any of my vintage hats there as this organization seems to promote modern hats, that is fine, I can don a modern hat to support modern milliners.

They are great people. Maybe one day when I'm not low man on the totem pole in a company of 3 people I'll be able to attend the dinner as well. I had to stay at the shop while they went and had fun :p
