Another interesting money sponge.
In trying to add some variation to my existing hat collection I've come across this company www.coloradohorsehair.com. They make all kinds of accessories from woven horsehair. I own a couple of belts made by them and I can vouch for the quality of workmanship. Their hatbands are attractive and... -

Symbol of Achievement
I feel guilty being a lurker here for the last month or so. I've purchased six vintage hats since joining the FL and owe 100% of my knowledge of hats to the helpful enthusiasts who keep this site vital. I try to rationalize my new found zeal by saying to myself, it's a lot cheaper than... -
