Those of you loungers visiting Houston or who live here in Houston. I'm now working at The Hat Store. I'm learning the traditional way of fitting a hat to a customer and traditionally shaping western, dress, and straw hats and personally being taught by Gary who's grandfather started the American hat company in 1912. In a few weeks I'll be his main hat shaper for the shop. So if your in town and need a lid, come by and see me. Sometimes life takes diffirent paths, was going to start up my own hat company which one day I will do. instead I left Sunbody hats and now work with top quality American hat company, Stetsons, borsalinos, Panama straw hats. I took a risk and what hatter wouldn't want to get the chance to shape high quality hats for a living, and to push to the next level in his career. I hope to see you loungers in the shop, and I look forward to helping you all out with a new lid.
