lol.... I sure love how you sugar coat everything B. But, I really was fuming when I left his shop. Especially since I do like his work and own 3 of his hats. You'd think he'd have a bit more customer curtesy, never had a problem with stuff I'd brought him before. He has re-worked a couple old resistols of mine and they shine like a new penny now. But, no mas! Dropped him from my facebook and instagram accounts too.
Lol
I might have been a little harsh there...
Nah....harsh would have been locking the front door on the way out while the sprinklers and fire alarm were still goin off.

lol.... never. Just putting them at the very back of my rotation for awhile while my temper simmers down. He does make an excellent hat with superb attention to detail. But the disrespectful attitude toward a customer that purchased 3 of his hats already is a bit off putting. ;)
It was very disrespectful. He should have creased your hat and then explained, "I'm afraid I'm up to my eyes in orders for new hats that I won't be able to take hats in for repairs for quite a while."
That would have been the good customer service way to do it.

Hey Ken:
Bet he’d work on one of his!!
Stuff like that makes me want to just flush!
Bad hat Karma!!
I wouldn’t wear his stuff even if it was made out of Ermine and Vicuna.
He could give me a hat and i’d ask for two...one to take a s**t in and one to cover it up!
Some things you “mess with, you’ll see a man get mean”. SRV

Throw a glove in his face! Have your friends contact his. You are in Texas, after all.

Sadly, he burned a bridge for a possible repeat customer. That's too bad.

I thought the exact same thing Steve. Pretty rude in the way he handled it, lost a customer to boot.

Walk a mile in his shoes & then curse him. :rolleyes:

Still warm here. I haven't succumbed to straw yet, but this unlined Dalton fills the bill nicely.

Love that, Jim. I almost expect to see Flipper talking to us out of your shirt.

And you're doxing him here too.

Very reasonable Steve. It works right up to the point it doesn't.

John, I have two wide-brim Gamebirds, one of which I found thanks to you. Still, when I see yours I feel like snatching it off your head and running away with it.

Thanks Doc!
Glad you don't live in my town. I'd hate to have to chase you down every time I wore it. Might be a little awkward too, since you would probably be my dentist. :D
