"I love my hat. It fits like a glove. I can't get over how light-weight it is yet it is stiff and firm, also how velvety smooth it is. It's a gorgeous hat. The icing on the cake is the buckle on the hat band. It has my initial on it, "S". It may have been your initial when it left your shop, but now it's mine. That's a nice touch. I have absolutely no regrets spending the money or buying it from you. I will always recommend you when the subject of hats comes up".

"Most everyone I associate with wears
a hat at one time or another, and most hats work for casual or special
occasion wear. I'm writing you to say that there's only one hat
that has held up to working and wearing...every...single...day.
Yours. I have worn a hat since 1978 and when I say "worn",
I mean worn and worked in it. I've NEVER had a hat hold up to my
kind of wearing like your 80X that I wear everyday. Yes, I now have
my "town hat" also that I like to wear when I clean up
for a night on the town and I'm very proud of it. Thanks for making
a superior product for a reasonable price and standing behind what
you make."

"I LOVE MY HAT! I really never noticed the various
qualities and shapes (or lack thereof) of hats that can be seen at
the horse shows, but since I've gotten my custom hat from you I can
really see the difference. Thanks for your attention to detail and
making sure that I enter the ring with a hat of the highest quality
shaped correctly for the disciplines I ride in."
Thanks again,

"I must tell you that I have heard for ages that if you
are only going to own one hat in you life...make it one of Shorty's.
Someday...if I ever win the lottery, I am going to get the one I saw
in Cowboys & Indians Magazine's last issue...the one with the
brown & white cowhide on the brim...what a hat! You are truly
an artist! I know that if my Great Grandmother was still with us,
she would be sporting a hat from Shorty's! (She was always a sucker
for a great hat!)"

"Dear Shorty,
I love my hat that you sent! I am looking forward to receiving my
silver belly! I'll be wearing your hat at Carnegie Hall in May 2003!

Thank you all- Especially, Shorty! for the absolute PERFECT hats ever!
John and I received our hats and WOW! DO THEY FIT PERFECTLY!!! 25-30
years, we've been looking for the best hats. Now, we've found them.
We have never had so many great compliments.
Thank you, Shorty.
We really appreciate it.

I got my grandpas hat back today from you and I am Happy, Happy,
Happy! You did a wonderful job and I can't wait to show my
dad! I know he will want it back now, but he's not getting
it!
I LOVE IT!
Thanks So Much!

Received parcel today! Are you sure these are mine??? I do not ever
remember them looking that good even when they were new!!!! You
sure did work your magic. Thanks so much for a job well done and
on such short notice. I will be the bell of the ball at this upcoming
Spring Fling APHA Show thanks to you and yours! You have my sincerest
appreciation.

"I received my hat day before yesterday and I have worn
it both days since. WOW! What a great job. I have gotten a lot of
compliments. You all are my hatters FROM NOW ON.
I wondered what it would come out looking like. You all made an old
worn out hat look NEW. Thanks so much. I will always tell where I
got it and where to buy new or get a hat redone."
Rex Davis
"Shorty did nothing short of a miraculous job...I'm extremely
impressed with her work and would unconditionally endorse her.
WOW - the hat looks NEW."
