Some bad news (now getting better!)
Changing the Title Can anyone do something to change the title of this thread? Speaking only for myself, I get a little worried every time I see a new posting that something else is wrong. Can't we rename it something like "Turning it around?" Thanks, Sam PS We are all glad to hear about... -

Panama Hat Stolen
Zero Tolerance Doc, I am shocked, SHOCKED, that a man would allow someone to steal his hat without seeking retribution. If you will send me my Fedora Lounge special retainer of a gift certificate for one of Art's hats, I will be happy to make sure justice is done... and stylishly. Best, Sam -

What you have to remember is that the fabric of that particular model is designed to respond in that precise way to the climatic conditions of the City of Brotherly love.

Why the X
Making the point Lefty, I think you are making my point. With the dearth of hat shops, where can a guy go to physically pick up hats to compare? I live in Philadelphia, which is not exactly a small town. I do not know of anywhere I can go and pick up a modern Stetson locally let alone a vintage... -
