I just wanted to say that last summer when I visited majormoore's shop, He gave my girls each a fedora that was one of his early works. (Those early works being better than a lot of other hats).
He said when they out grew them to pass them on to someone in the spirit of creating a new fedora wearer. Well they were a size 7 1/4 and Dee and Josie are 7 1/8 and Caitlyn is a 7 3/8, lotta hair... And all of them have new customs under the tree!:eusa_doh:
Anyway my inlaws are in town for Christmas and I knew my Brother in law has a black western hat, he's from Kansas. I asked him what size he wore and he told me " I think a 7 1/4" I had him try one on and it fit like it was custom made for him. He was going on about how nice it was and said is this one of Dee's? I said nope it's yours courtesy of Mike Moore, I told him what Mike had said and that I wanted it to go to someone I thought would wear it. I also found out that he does not wear the western anymore because it being a 7 1/8 is too small, but it is a hat he loves and wished it still fit. He had no idea that it could be reblocked into a larger size! So at the least he will probably get a favorite hat back in action but I think he will really take to those fedoras as well!:eusa_clap
