Did I miss something, where are you getting all those wonderful hats.

It's the 6 7/8 touch. :)

Garrett has a lot of really, really nice hats because of it.

I'm openly very jealous. Haha.

Dumbjaw is right, having a pin head has helped me acquire some of the finest vintage lids around.....and at decent prices. I've been extremely fortunate to be in this position.

Garrett, that is a very impressive collection you have accumulated there. I guess the smaller size does make a difference. But I am going to be openly jealous also.:p

It is certainly a leg up. But you have to have the taste
to want these hats and the talent to find them, too.
Thanks for sharing- we need more of that here.

Thanks for posting those ads, Lefty. I agree, Barbisio had some of the best ads ever. Now I must add the ones I'm missing to my collection. :D
