HATS BY DEE

\

I made these hats myself trying to keep the materials and design as true to the era as possible.  All hats are hand sewn using very little, if any, glue.

If you are interested in seeing any of them in person, check out our schedule, call to let me know which hat you want me to bring, and I will show it to you there.

Call me for the prices and to ask me any questions.
