When I was hungry Dan nourished me with delightful pancakes. When I was estranged and merely a shadow of the night Dan gave me refuge in his cottage. When my head and hands were caked with sod Dan put cold beer in my gills and even as the sun beat down on my timid face he placed a fine cap upon my noggin to shade me from darker times. There remains too much to say about Dan, that even in my most fervent moments I would never be able to spit it out never the less bring it to paper. But I will say what I must. And I will try to stray from deep feelings of dare I say romantic affection. I was a dour faced refuge of the Peruvian salt mines after having been trafficked for labour by a group of Polish Laymen. Every day I found nothing but sand in my teeth and salt in my nose. As it were, one day I escaped from the work camp deep into the hours of the morning only to find my self lost in the loveless jungle. Just at daybreak as I nodded to and fro against an enormous mungusbungus tree I hear the most beautiful whistling song I have ever heard. At first I thought it was a parrot but no loathsome creature under the sun could emit such divine bliss. Waking up I listened more intently with an almost ecstatic joy. And yes the sun shone down on me amidst a thick canopy of truffula trees. Assuden, I see a strange creature sauntering through the forest which I later came to know was human. It was none else than Dan. He had a long wizard like pipe in his hand and the most glorious hat I had ever set eyes on. No, not some druid hat of antiquity but a beautiful black top hat not shorter than five feet tall. I was almost too amazed to speak but in all the man’s glory I had to appear before him. I croaked in a muffled and husky tone: “water.” At first he seemed puzzled but when he saw me, compassion flooded his face with charm. In a British accent he replied. “Wat Her, I doent even knoe her.” And then he giggled with a wry smile as he realized his interpretive mistake. Or was he making a joke? I shall never know. Realizing my derelict state he got to one knee and nursed me generously from his water bladder until I rolled on my back, my thirst in full slake. And even in the following hours of unconsciousness he slung me over his shoulder, walked me back to his ship and we sailed away for the Grand US of A.
That day and the following will eternally be foremost in my mind. And I still have the top hat he gifted me off his own dome. It graces my head now as I write amidst this candle glow and it nearly brushes the top of the ceiling! Dan from the Breck hat company is one hell of a gentlemen and a true scholar in all partaking. I wish him a long life astray of any lurking Casiopeian devilry.
Desperately, H.L.

As a firefighter passing through Breckenridge after a grueling 14-day stretch on the line, I didn’t expect to stumble into one of the most affirming, downright legendary customer service experiences of my life. Enter: Dan at Breckenridge Hat Co.
Let me set the scene... ashes still clinging to my boots, smoke memories fresh in my lungs, I walked into this fine establishment looking for a hat. Not just any hat, mind you. I needed something with grit. With soul. With the kind of character that tells a story before you even speak. Within seconds, Dan locked eyes with me like a man on a mission.
This wasn’t just a transaction. It was a spiritual experience.
Dan didn’t just help me. He honored me. Before I could even tell him what I was looking for, he looked me up and down and said, “You serve, don’t you? Let’s find you something worthy.”
Folks, Dan fitted me like a king. He brought out what felt like velvet forged in cowboy heaven. He knew the shape of my head before I even removed my cap. He adjusted the fit with the finesse of a master tailor and the pride of a man who cares. And as if that weren’t enough, he THANKED ME for my service, offered a sincere handshake, and told me, “This one’s not just a hat... it’s armor.”
I swear the hat gleamed in the light like it had been blessed by the mountain gods themselves.
Dan, if you're reading this: you are a gentleman, a style-savant, and a true American patriot. Breckenridge Hat Co, you don't just have an employee. You have a legend behind that counter.
Give this man a raise. Or at least a custom hat embroidered with “THE GOAT.”
10/10. Will detour through Breck again just to say...
