Where To Buy A Vintage Hat

Where To Buy A Vintage Hat FARM HOME Clothes 27-2-27 Business is booming for a Michigan couple who came up with a great idea: Offering vintage hats with old-time farm equipment logos. Where else could you find a Minneapolis Moline hat with original colors? How about a Cockshutt, an Oliver, or even a Massey Harris? "If you collect an older brand of tractor, you should have a hat to match," says Jennifer Gingell who, along with her husband, Dan, came up with the idea. The couple also sells a popular line of tractor repair videos which have been featured in FARM SHOW, and they run a tractor dealership and repair shop in Metamora, Mich. The high-quality canvas hats sell for $12.50 apiece plus S&H. Here's what's available so far (they're working on obtaining the rights to other logos, including Deere): Allis Chalmers (solid black), Massey Ferguson (red/black), Massey Ferguson (solid red), Massey Harris (solid red), New Oliver (green), old Oliver (green), Minneapolis Moline (black/gold), Minneapolis Moline (red/black), and Cockshutt (khaki/black).
