Ringo Starr likes his hats

Talking to Ringo Starr this past week was a real treat.  Ringo loves his hats, always has, according to the legendary Beatles drummer.  He talked to us at our Las Vegas Strip location by telephone.  We hope to  be priviledged with a visit by Ringo in the future to add to his hat inventory of which he says he has many.  What a joy to actually talk to a legendary Beatle.
January  is typically a transitional month in the hat biz.  Everyone has their winter hat. Spring is a long way aways,  But, the hat makers are now busy with making the new 2012 Spring-Summer merchandise for delivery in February-March-April.  We have received an advance order of ladies cotton and fabric summer sun hats and visors.  These will appear on our websire www.thehatco.com in about 2 weeks in the "New for 2012" section.
