Interesting question. Obviously it was only done for the American market. Have to look into it, but I'd say somewhere around the late seventies they probably stopped using it. The Marque Grand Luxe hats don't have it, but they weren't exclusieve for the American market, I think. Have to look at some more modern American market hats to be sure.

I like it too.
I wonder if the hairs on the back of Max’s neck are standing up…his Optimo radar is pretty sensitive.

I think he stops by with some frequency, but he doesn’t post much.
How about David @jonesy86 , has anyone heard from him lately?

Ironically, I heard on the radio today it's the anniversary of the debut of that Whitesnake video.
