    is there some sort of rule against wearing straw hats in the fall and winter? (sorta like don't wear white after labor day) Or is it just warmer to wear felt?

    Why are fedoras with prints so cheap?

    i knew a t-shirt designer some of his stuff was good im sure it wouldn't be hard to find someone to put a print on any hat , that said the hat would lose value im sure but if you're gonna wear it and are happy with it . The only value that counts is what its worth to you.
