Dad wearing his brand new Walkabout Hat

Posted by Richard Christie on

We love hearing from our customers who've purchased our hats!  Here's a note we received today from Elizabeth right after Father's Day, that put a smile on our face.   Hi RC, The hat just arrived!!! That was so fast!  The package was so carefully packed! Look at the photo!  It’s perfect!  We all need hair cuts whenever the shops open up again.  But the grizzly beard and unkempt hair look suits the hat.

It has seen a hundred campfires, lightning shows over Nippising, the auroras australis and borealis, and hangs by my back door or on the hook behind the door in my classroom....
