“His custom hats can take weeks to make and the prices range from $300-$950.”

__________

Good God, how can you live off of $300-$950 for weeks of work? Hahaha

I’d rather have a Buster Keaton hat. Keaton made his own hats.

That man who makes Buster Leaton hats:

The Derby style was, for obvious reasons, the most popular mens headgear for that period and that geographic area.

Another great hat company is D Bar J out of Las Vegas. David has been making hats since 1989, and attends End of Trail every year (world championship of Cowboy Action Shooting)

They will be able to sell something that looks that stupid?

On the other hand, millions bought pussy hats.

How can you know what a hat looks like if all you have is a picture of the brim from the underside? Rh?

“Billy the Kid is buried in Hico, Texas.”

I don’t think the folks at Old Fort Sumner Cemetery, NM would agree with you. Is Hico the same as Hamilton, TX. Because Hamilton says he’s buried there because William “Brushy Bill” Roberts, waited until 1949 to “confess” that he was the Kid, when he was almost 90.

Something can take weeks to make even if you only spend 2 or 3 minutes on it per day. That leaves a lot of extra minutes to make a bunch just like it in the same time period using the same equipment.
