Dad wearing his brand new Walkabout Hat

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.

Thank you so much! 
Best,

Elizabeth
 
Thanks to you, Elizabeth.  Looks great.  Glad to see Dad in his new Stampede Canvas hat from Walkabout!

Dad was jealous of our hats!

Hi RC,
We are about to send through the order for my husband’s hat.
Thought you might get a kick out of seeing me, Elizabeth, in the blue Walkabout hat I bought at one of your booths during a Festival.
I got a new one because my son, Sean, took my first one to work off of a pier and a boat collecting plankton for a study at the Romberg Environmental Center.  This was while he was in high school and college.
Toomas was jealous of our hats.  So we had the idea to get him his own.
Best,
Elizabeth

I have not purchased a new one because it has not needed to be replaced

I have not purchased a new one because it has not needed to be replaced
Good morning,
I got your email this morning and, thought I would respond.
I purchased a hat about 9 years ago. I wear it every day. I have worn it to walk the city, hike the trails of Ontario, climb a mountain in New Zealand, for fishing in the blistering heat and the freezing cold, for walking across frozen lakes in the Canadian north, in wind, snow, rain, and sun. 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. I love it.
I have not purchased a new one because it has not needed to be replaced. I have not purchased a new one out of satisfaction. My hat has performed as it should. Thank you for that.
Please keep sending the emails. I don't always look at them, but it never hurts to plan for the future.
Yours,
D. Allan Stares
