WE MADE THIS FOR YOU! Joking aside, we made this as a group project as a group of friends. Our original thoughts weren't to have become this large, but they were to just buy and sell off Ebay to turn a small profit. These Changed when we realized that we could not keep up with the demand, so we had to actually start storing fedoras in what people call a 'stock'. And for us to do that, we needed a store.
What Next?
Well, we had to find a location, and because all of us didn't care too much about this (not enough to invest lots of money) we had to find somewhere cheap, this led us to Montana. Even though we didn't care enough to put much actual money into the business, we were totally fine moving, because none of us have familys that cared. So we all moved out to Montana, bought what is essentially a small warehouse, and there we live and keep stock. We made the place halfway livable, and then ordered hundreds of fedoras.
So, you have a business, but why the website?
We made this website to help get the word out about our fedoras, and to add an alternative option to just buying 'normal' fedoras Amazon or Ebay. We still do sell on both those sites, but we are hoping that this site will do the best due to the customization possibilities. We also don't have a business that you can walk into due to a few things. One being that we are all slobs, another being that this is an old warehouse, a third being the fact that our running costs would be higher.
Our Location
As mentioned above we are an online store, so all we needed was a building to keep us out of the rain. The place we live in isnt the nicest, but its very large and so we each made our own rooms in it. Sadly, we don't have any updated pictures, but you can see the original listing here.
Why All The Al Capone?
Well first, because why not? We have always kept Capone as our role model, the main reasons being because he was a great guy, and because he wore the fedora best. Fedora man on the home page wore it well, but Al really made the fedora what it is today. He was also a fedora supporter, but that wasn't very well know or cared about. All of us here wish that we could have met this man, for he is what got us through life, and brought us to where we are today, without this beautiful man, this amazing website wouldn't exist.
