On one hand it makes me sad that the videos you guys produce don't have the same reach they once did, but on the other hand I'm very happy that you still dedicate yourselves to telling interesting and inspiring stories we wouldn't have heard otherwise. I know I've mentioned this on previous videos, but we love you guys and we're absolutely elated you've returned. 🖤🤘🏽

I really want for hats to make a full comeback into modern day fashion, well, everyday fashion to be precise. Hats are just a lovely accessory that helps keep the sun out of your face and it can add so much to a plain outfit. Right now I wear caps and I have a wide brim felt hat that doesn't quite fit me, I'd love to own a fitted hat for my tiny head.

Don't let it. It'll wax and wane, like "radical" and "on fleek". If it sticks around, it'll make its way into your vocabulary by osmosis, don't worry.

I used to see many people wear bowlers field hunting in the late 70’s. They wore it with a special string attached to their jacket in case it got knocked off. I just wore my helmet.

Wish there was a place like this in my neck of the woods in the US...I like vintage stuff and getting a nice hat...particularly an ACTUAL fedora and not a trilby (which everyone seems to call a fedora) means I have to look online and hope shipping doesn't mess it up since the only hat stores around me are LIDS....baseball caps for days but anything like a bowler, top hat, fedora or other similar classic hats are a lot harder to come by, baseball caps and cowboy hats are all easy to come by down south where I live. The others...not so much unless you go online so a custom fit like this is pretty much impossible...which is annoying as in the old west bowler hats were actually rather popular among cowboys up until the Stetson Boss of the Plains hat was made.

I was wondering if they only did men's hats or not and then you showed the female half...eh. I like the more traditional men's side then the out there female side. Even if she is inspired by vintage...I guess I'd have to see the hats in person. I'm not really a hat person, I feel like I don't have the face for one...plus I have a huge head lol.
