My "wallet" has already announced it was at the edge of going "mutiny" on me many times just this past year!

I can understand that Cindy, but the heart wants what the heart wants. :) I started with just $100 deposit to get myself into the queue and then made sure I had what I needed saved by the time the hat was finished. For me, I like putting down the deposit because it gets me mentally committed to my purchases. Too many times have I tried saving the full amount to get something only to get distracted by a new shiny item. LOL
 
Darn.....obviously. I want to have the ROAD feel in the name, of these unique Vintage inspired Open Road style type hats; and I have the ribbon to red line this project.... Mustang obviously was my first thought knowing Harv's taste; but he is a Ford guy, I pitched the " Gran Torino". Bob....Moss 429 has me on the fence....The 69 Gran Torino GT in Moss Green with fading stripe, a super car. Confused....let me dwell.....meanwhile spark my imagination. This line up is for real folks. Treat your self to what I understand to be one of the finest bespoke hatters products. Liners, new sweatbands....I ain't messin, this Kat be pressing hard to lead the pack. A Wild Kat on a mission. I said keep a Keen eye on Kane. Who can I get to please support me next?

Can I please encourage this; anyone interested in my product, please contact me. I am trying to make a go at this as a business. I've been here some time and have many people liking me and my work. I encourage anyone to get in line. Yes I would like a hundred as a deposit, especially if I have to order 1 beaver body . But if I have the specific felt on hand ill gladly accept a 50 dollar deposit. I have even told people if they need extra time just let me know ; I get it done but work on another in the meantime. I am super easy to deal with just don't ask me to lower my price; respect the time I have in a hat. Hand binding a brim...no picnic in the park. I earn my wage. Which is very reasonable. But again , tell me how I can work with you to earn your business. To all, thank you in advance.

I can appreciate that! Myself, as how things can go in life, normally plan things to where when I am going to buy a custom from a hatter, I will have all the money at the ready and sitting in paypal ready for payment. Aside from just doing for our household and it's wants and needs, I am always involved with helping others out along the way. We have been blessed in ways I could not explain in a few sentences as to my Husband still being "here". He is a fighter and does not give up. The medical concerns he has stacked up against him, requires me to buy unconventional medical treatments no insurance would ever cover. His best medicine however is Love and Humor! We both enjoy healthy doses of that as much as we can!

Harv, this is one real good looking hat. I think "Gran Torino" was settled on for the name and I can't wait to see your headshot pics with it. Very cool.
Beautiful work all around. Tim you are doing great hat work. Kurt your photos are always amazing, and I love your photos on Instagram (bolthead1360)
