The Hat MakerIn the back of Nathaniel’s, Nate Funmaker waits for the customer. You’d probably expect the veteran hat maker to be wearing a cowboy hat of his own making.
Instead, the 47-year-old Mancos man offers a slight smile. “I’m a ball cap guy,” he says. The statement sums up who he is more than one might think. Of course, Funmaker has several cowboy hats that he wears. He looks good in a western hat. He’s comfortable and at ease under his favorite gray rabbit-beaver fur blend hat. His philosophy is pretty darn simple. “I’m not a cowboy, I’m a craftsman,” he says. Nate Funmaker is a Native American who has been making hats for 18 years. http://www.cortezjournal.com/article/20120427/LIVING/704279999/The-Hat-Maker- A little spendy for me, but maybe he has something cheaper on the wall.
