I made 1 dozen the other day and have sold all but three, had one on my western hat yesterday, 18 degrees and wind blowing very hard, ears stayed nice and warm and hat never blew off, when you have the ear flaps pulled under your chin it acts like a stampede string.

Each of these type hats either two tone or tie dyed there are people who like them, same in cars, that is why car makers have made colors other than black, everyone likes something differant.
So I will...
