    Where to find white fedoras?

    My one and only White Smithbilt Mine was produced back when the company was family owned. I spoke with a co. rep and provide the build numbers off of this hat. He guesstimated 40's-50's. The company still produces dress hats as well as westerns and still has a very good reputation...

    Panamas Biz / Robert Weber - Very bad experience

    Possible, but NOT likely. Having purchased many hats from Robert without one problem, I will stay with Robert and recommend him to any and all. Anyone who shows up only to double post the same thread and trash someone, will not earn my respect nor my sympathy.

    Whippet by Art Fawcett!

    Art builds a first class hat, it can be seen in the details. The sweat lays perfectly, no pucker or waffling. You chose the right hatter for an absolutely stunning hat. If only all customs were built to Arts exacting standards. I bet it fits like a dream. Enjoy your prize.

    How long did it take to get your Montecristi?

    Robert, I hate to see it come to that. That being said, I fully understand your feelings as many times working with the public is trying at best. There seems to be a growing subculture that feels they are owed Tiffany value at a Walmart price supplied at McDonald's speed. I am sure that I am not...
