Dr.; thanks for that. It was a very interesting article and series of photos. I had never heard of that hatter before. I'll try to check out his site, if he has one.

Fascinating topic. If you go to Wiliamsburg or Ocean Parkway in Brooklyn on a Saturday, you see all the many styles and variations on parade. It's a world of hats!

We were very happy to get a mention in the article even though they took a lot of pictures and they werent used. We were told thatthere will be a follw up to the article some time in the summer. Any mention of hats in the media no matter who is mentioned is good for business!

“People always use hats,” he said. “It’s a necessity, like food.”

I like this attitude.

Interesting. Thank you.

Yes, thank you Doctor Strange and Mr. Paladin (for the follow up article).
I have always found the hat wearing of different cultures an interesting topic to learn.
