(I declined.)<br /><br />One of the last places in the world with the in house skill to clean top hats. (I have not tried to verify this, but don't doubt it.) <br /><br />Also, a lot of hats.Stephenhttp://www.penciltalk.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343608.post-2042218171184761182010-09-15T21:20:40.960-05:002010-09-15T21:20:40.960-05:00Mine’s sisal too.

Despite all the things I told myself (protection from sunburn, looks sharp, etc.), I'd guess I've wound up wearing it about once a year.<br /><br />Fortunately, no gangsters have attacked me or my hat. :-)Stephenhttp://www.penciltalk.orgnoreply@blogger.com
