Ain't that the truth. Really nice Panama.

Thanks!

And yep, I play guitar. Several of them, actually. Which is why I'm surprised my wife hasn't had a more extreme reaction to yet another potentially expensive hobby such as this growing hat interest. Lol.

But the Vox doesn't see much use lately. I've been really focused on an acoustic folk-style album.

Hi, Matt. Guitar and hat addictions are heavy ones. Nice Martin, though: I just picked up Guild's version of that guitar recently, the M120, as I've been listening to a lot of Nick Drake and love what he could do with just a "parlor" guitar. The power of pure mahogany is just amazing.

Congrats Moon. I have one just like it - same color - same age. It's one of my absolute favorites, and a week rarely goes by without sun on my bluish grey Strat. Love it!

How's does the smaller LO size fit yer 7 1/4? Always wondered abt sizing down for particular hats to a LO.

Great to hear that. It opens up more options...

not really ... I've owned a lot of long oval 1/8 that didn't fit at all

Rick and I are the same size and he assured me that it indeed fit him

Guess some do and some don't. Never tried to fit into one myself.

it's a **** shoot

I got a beauty of a LO 1/8 strat from Bruno and when I first put it on it felt like it fit ... or maybe that wash what I call "wishful fitting" ... after wearing it for about 1 minute I realized it was crushing my head ... so that one went to Roger ... super nice lid

this one I was skeptical about but I fully trust Rick and sure enough ... like a glove .. and not "wishful"

Here's something I saw on the 'Bay, it was unusual and interesting so I nade an offer and got it. The Ecuador Hat Co. out of Baltimore had been around since the 30's (or so a quick perusal of the Google suggested) but this particular one seems more 60's early 70's. Like a Tyrol/Western crossover, it has none of the traits of a Western that I dislike. Namely overly stiff, heavy and wide. This thing is light, soft and floppy, with a manageable 3" brim (curled) and 5 1/2" open crown. Long nap finish, silky soft hand. So floppy I had to do head shots or else the brim is totally flat just sitting on a table.

No tags or other marks save for the stub of a size tag still glued to the underside of the leather.
Great hat for those days when you want something a little different.
