[Judy Jones]

Wow, to me that's surprising, didn't know they would be that expensive.

It's funny that you mentioned a Fedora.  I looked on eBay about a year ago,
thinking since they are out of style their prices would be low.  I couldn't
find any that wasn't around $100!  My wife couldn't quite go for a hundred
dollar hat that I would wear only for my fantasy.  LOLL

You ought to have either a Derby hat or a Fedora hat to wear with that three
piece suit to top off the look.
