Fedora Gallery
Kelli likes hats in general and fedoras in particular. Wide-brim from the ’40s, snap-brim from the late ’50s, straw, felt, Panamas and Borsalinos, she adds to her hat collection whenever possible, and enjoys visiting hat shops when on book tour.
If you know of a good place for hats in your town, email her—she loves to discover new sources for her favorite piece of apparel!
