“Nap was a hat man, and he had some of the baddest caps in the country. Hats had been the first item of merchandise to come off his production line because he liked to feel something on his head at all times.

But not only was Nap a master at designing trendy menswear, he wasn’t too shabby when it came down to running a business, either.
