    Being called by your first name at work

    I'm 53, with over 32 years of experience in IT business. If somebody called me "mister" followed by my last name, I'd consider them extreme brown-nosers. I get called just my last name as much as just my first name. Job candidates sometimes start off but I quickly tell them to call me by my...

    Ask a question, get an answer

    Yes, any felt will wear down from "excessive" handling. Just look at most photos of Johnny Depp & you'll see what will happen to the front pinch if "excessively" handled. Velour is no different but may take longer due to fiber length???

    The perfect hat

    I have a collection of hats I wear, no hats not my size just to own that model. I don't wear wide ribbons so I don't own any. Got some because I wanted one of that brand in style I wear. Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using Tapatalk

    Have 2 CD Deluxes & 2 Imperials. Felt is denser plus better sweatbands & ribbons. Whether 'worth it' is individual evaluation. The Lounge worked to get the CD Deluxe first run & Moonstone only comes in Deluxe. Worth it to me... Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using Tapatalk
