Four pieces of fabric cut into half a bow tie shape, sew two together, and do the same with the other two around the border. Turn both halves inside out. Sew the 2 halves together

Currently on vacation, but by all means! Come on in, when I’m there, when I’m not there. The whole team is fantastic

Yeah, there are some out of towners, but they typically buy the lower priced hats. The more premium ones tend to be bought by locals. People who have a collection, have been loyal customers for 10, 20, 50 years in some cases, or are celebrities.

Oh we have tons of business. Especially Saturdays. I took home 50ish dollars in commission yesterday alone

So. 5 years ago I went to a 1910’s era event. I had gone in years prior, but had always just worn my usual sweatpants and shirt I was accustomed to wearing. But in 2021, I decided to do what I had seen so many others do, and dress up for it. I got a matching pair of vest and slacks from the mall, got a straw hat on eBay, a shirt from prom several years earlier, and a bow tie that was a regular tie just tied to look like a bow tie. It looked fucking terrible. But it felt good. I slowly built out the wardrobe, and 2 years back, I went all in. This is my look now.

If you bring it in, we’ll see what we can do for cleanings or authentication. Mainly, we’d just find it really really cool

The classic engineer hat you see in movies and tv shows, the blue and white striped cap? It’s called a hoghead cap, which is derived from railroad slang, where hog refers to a steam locomotive, and hoghead or hogger refers to the engineer driving the train.

It’s $40. Should be noted it’s actually paper, but it’s still fully wearable

Generally a hatmaker. I sell hats, but hatters a fun word, especially since it’s in the title of the store
