    Akubra squatter

    I can't speak for what is available in the models sold in OZ ( the Fed IV is an OZ model) after buying from DM for over 30 years now, I've not seen ANY of his Akubra's sold in a LO size. I've not seen this designation used or offered on any of the OZ retailers on the web either. You might want...

    Panama Hat Thread

    In reply to your egoistic palaver I will just say as is said down here in the South, " If you can't say anything nice about someone, then don't say anything at all " . 'nuff said :)

    Now Forming! the Campaign Hat Corps

    From this photo in the ad, it looks like your hat's cord are the same which would make it an Army campaign hat and not one from the Marine Corps :)

    Panama Hat Thread

    Interesting how when ever PB is now mentioned here, you jump in with your "concern". As William wrote in "Hamlet", act III, scene II, "... the lady doth protest too much methinks".

    Now Forming! the Campaign Hat Corps

    Alan, That is one pristine example of that style of hat! To bad you don't have any provenance of it. For me, I would not get one, to many negative memories associated with the style. :)

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    It's been awhile since I've seen one of those on a head! But you've got the chin strap in the wrong place, it's supposed to be BEHIND your head :) ( at least in '69 it was :) ) You need to get the proper strached shirt on and put a tie to match with it :) And spit shine those shoes :)

    Panama Hat Thread

    PB has some of the BEST values in Panamas around. You can order any of his hats in an unfinished state and have them sent to any one you want for final creasing and finishing. Tom-n-Perris is Tom Gomez out in California whom I HIGHLY recomend you use to have your next Panama finished from. You...

    Panama Hat Thread

    It looks to be a standard Brisa weave Cuenca Panama. It looks to have a fabric sweatband in it ? These are a nice basic Panama and should be priced no more than $30 to $45. A good hot weather Panama and it looks good on you as well :)

    Taking my mom to a Mayor's Lunch today wearing my Mid-Grey Squatter, which is DEFINATELY cheaper than a new Dunhill ! Wen't to the tobbacco shop yesterday to get some more 965 (have you tried it Sam?, LOT'S of Latakia with red Virginias, VERY cool and aromatic :) ) and looked at some new Dunhill...
