To the bearded gent, your friend bought a white fedora - w4m - 24 (Madison - State Street)

Six years living in Madison, WI and I never found an excuse to shop at the local hat shop. Luckily, I was in town last week with my pal Jon and in search for a summer hat, so we stopped by. Now I’m plus one hat, and he’s plus one fawning missed connection:

You smiled a fantastic smile when you came into the hat store, and made more eye contact than was strictly necessary. You are adorable, with your shaggy hair, mountain-man beard, and gauged ears. When you came back into the store so your tall friend could buy a hat, it made my day. I didn’t mean to stare, but besides being cute you looked very familiar — have we met before?

 The question is, who got the better deal?
