There are times when I like to travel with a casual and also a more formal fedora. I would appreciate any advice on obtaining a suitable hard shell hat box capable of holding one or possibly two hats with crowns of maximum dimensions of a six inch crown and a three inch brim. A purchase from a...
Yesterday I was hanging out at the local Christan supply store (Others have bars, that is my hangout.) and a minister of my acquaintance came in. He had performed a funeral service service earlier. We talked some shop and he asked me the oddest thing, I suppose because I almost always have a...
