      Cool Hat

      I like this hat, and I think it will look good on stage.

      The fit is right on.

      However, one would think that at almost $200, a hat that has leather all over it would have a leather stampede string instead of a cloth shoestring.

      Well, at least it was easily removed.

      :rofl:

      Superb Desolation

      I work outside in the ATL. When the mercury hit 100 it was time to pimp my lid. This hat does the trick. A bonus: if I can’t get a date wearing this hat, I can’t get a date period.
