Travel Safe and know the TSA Rules for Headwear!

A travel case seems to be the “easiest” answer. But luggage requirements always rule. Plus, I WANT to wear my hat! A few weeks ago I decided to go to the airport early and take a stand, for all things western and sacred. As I approached the security checkpoint I did the usual. I took off my boots, belt and buckle, emptied my pockets and got ready. Now, fot the record, I am ready for it all… Comments about my boots. Check. About my buckle. Check. Conformateur and famillion (head sizing equipment). Check. Now, I am about safety and rules, but the mud-flapped x-ray machine trashes hats. Good for the renovation business, but they make a disaster of hats. Not cool. Making a “clamshell” with the plastic boxes they give you is a waste of time… So, here I go. The TSA Agent says, “Put your hat in the x-ray machine son.” i reply, “No thank you sir”. To which he replies, “Don’t hold up the line….DO IT!” i asked for a supervisor. I got a supervisor. He then told the Agent, “All members of the traveling public are permitted to wear head coverings (whether religious or not) through the security checkpoints. The new standard procedures subject all persons wearing head coverings to the possibility of additional security screening, which may include a pat-down search of the head covering.” I was shocked! So was the agent. By the look on his face you would of thought I just shot his dog! It was great! A week later I see a Troy Applehans, a GHW wearer in the security line. I know what is about to happen… I’ve got his back…I save the hat, save him from the same argument, and it ends with the TSA Agent apologizing! So pass this on as a PSA. My gift to you during “Cowboy Christmas”. Whether your hat is a GHW or another, it is part of you, a part of our religion. Wear it proud and LOUD!Click here for all the rules for headwear according to TSA.

Home…Hat’isfaction…Heads…and Hats

Dec. 13, 2011

Wow…Time flies when you love your job!!! The 2011 Greeley Hat Works “Get Some…Hat’isfaction Tour criss-crossed the United States, Canada, Portugal, England, France, and Germany. We sold hats to over 12 countries, took over 300 head patterns, and sold a lot of hats through our retailers all around the world. Make sure you look up the closest Greeley Hat Works Retail Partner to you for that last minute Holiday gift.

Next years tour will be announced at our Hat’isfaction Tour Finale, here at Greeley Hat Works, on December 16th from 6-10 p.m.. We have a lot of give-a-ways, special tour pricing, and Glitz Galore will be showing here also!

Getting to travel the world spreading the “Gospel Of Greeley” and getting to meet so many people from all over the world was an experience of a lifetime! Next years tour already as Tour Stops scheduled for Arizona, Texas, Oklahoma, Germany, Florida, Utah, and Canada!!!

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. If you talked to anyone who attended one of our Tour Stop anywhere around the world….This, I think, would be the overall expression…

The joy of a lifetime…A hat that fits…with customer service to

back up the sale.

In the words of the World Famous A. Ryan Vaughan

“Make it a GREAT DAY”
