Great Headwear Minds Speak…

We are so glad to be able to consolidate and communicate with those of you in the headwear industry. Keep the information flowing, but please try to add photos if you have them. Also remember to give us your phone number and contact information with all information to be printed.

The Detroit News contacted us this week for a story about Broner Headwear. The reporter wanted dollar figures on how many men’s and women’s hats are sold each year. It is important that all of you, especially headwear manufactures, get together and come up with annual sales figures for headwear sales. Also, we hope you will pass our Hat Life newsletters on to your friends, colleagues and retail store clients.

We look forward to hearing from you next month.

Thank you,
Diane Feen, the Hat Lady

We hope to hear from you. Please email us at Diane@hatlife.com or call 561-208-1168 or 877-HATLIFE
