The problem is not only the time but the money. I know John had to invest A LOT of money into his hat business before receiving any kind of profit. I just can't do that right now. I would like to learn as a hobby though. Profit, Company yeah. Me, no. It takes a lot of re-investing to have different offering. hat boxes like mine, hat stands, hat jacks, etc, etc. I don't know when it will stop. I just dropped a good amount on vintage ribbon. |

That's understandable... and knowing you, John, you will just keep coming up with more and more ideas! Although a lot of your current offerings are already perfect... like your hat jacks and hat boxes. I don't see how those could possibly be improved upon!
I applaud you John. I really do. You found a passion for hats and turned it into a business. But you also know what you want your business to do, and you don't want to just slap YOUR name onto any piece of junk! You want to only sell the highest quality items and to make your company a one-stop hat shop! That is very cool and I highly respect you for it!

But you also know what you want your business to do, and you don't want to just slap YOUR name onto any piece of junk! Unlike George Lucas. ;D Not just with the Indy Hat department, though. It's been rumored that the Star Wars Blu-Ray saga will be nothing more than the 1080p masters of yesteryear's 480p DVDs, when the current trend is scanning a new 4k master for 1080p Blu-Ray discs. They'll look good, but it could look better, according to rumors. Steven |

The more I think about it, the more I would like to get a block and perhaps start making my own hats, or at least reblock some.

Don't forget the stress. I have more stress doing this than I had fighting fire.

I am sorry to hear that John. Maybe you're just trying too hard?

Nope. The hat biz can get ugly.
