    Today in History

    Baron Hats

    The problem with Baron also, is that they literally take months to get stuff done, my boss wanted to have his great grandfathers hat re sized and it took 3 months. They did a good job. I am an hour from Baron, but personally id rather send my hat to Optimo to get it done. I think its worth...

    Stetson "Shady Oak"

    Well, it isn't as rare as I thought but that's alright. Its nice to see pictures to compare my lid to others.
