    Warm Weather Fedora

    I would wear a straw for a cruise in the Mediterranean. You can't go wrong with a nice Panama and a linen suit. RGS /F

    Christmas Food Traditions!

    Here in Sweden it's Christmas Eve that's the "big event" of Christmas. We start the Christmas dinner with pickled herring in various variants, smoked and/or pickled salmon, washed down with beer and spiced aquavit. This is followed with cold cuts, brawn, pat?©, dried, salted leg of mutton, pigs...

    Trip to Egypt in April 2008 - Felt or straw?

    Thank you, Craig! Since I spend most my time in the northern parts of Sweden I can't really justify buying myself a high-end Panama. We simply don't have enough warm days for a hat like that. Therefore I'm quite happy with a cheeper Cuenca that WILL fold. :) I'm really looking forward to the...

    Trip to Egypt in April 2008 - Felt or straw?

    Had I been staying in Egypt for more then a week, I'd might consider bringing a Pith helmet myself. As it stands now... 1 hat maximum.... I think... maybe... nah... /F

    Trip to Egypt in April 2008 - Felt or straw?

    Thank you KC! I agree on traveling light and I don't want to look like a rich tourist of any nationality. It looks like I'll be bringing an Akubra beater to the party - Maybe a rolled up straw in a whisky tube just to have an option. Have a great trip to Bali! That's one of the places I plan...

    Name This Plane...from the inside

    Just a wild stab in the dark: Can it be a Lockheed Constellation? /F

    Trip to Egypt in April 2008 - Felt or straw?

    Thanks Jake_Fink, but I'm afraid I can't afford hats of that magnitude. /F

    Trip to Egypt in April 2008 - Felt or straw?

    Thanks Jake_Fink! I wish I had a felt hat like the one you describe. I wore a unlined "Lite Felt" (wool?) on a trip to Venezuela and it was sweaty and itchy. /F

    Trip to Egypt in April 2008 - Felt or straw?

    Dang it Tamas, you are supposed to be supporting a fellow Lounger if he's trying to find minimal excuses to order another hat! :D Pith helmets are cool, but getting one just for this trip is not an option for me. :( Cheers /F

    Trip to Egypt in April 2008 - Felt or straw?

    Another vote for the felt. Man, I should have made this topic into a poll. :) Thanks for sharing that photo, Havana. Love your "travel style"! :eusa_clap Since I don't have any hat with neck- or chin-strap... do you have any suggestions? Cheers /F

    Trip to Egypt in April 2008 - Felt or straw?

    Another tip worth gold. :eusa_clap Thank you very much, GwenLake! I guess a pinned had would look silly on me so I have to find another solution. :D OTOH, straw-hats are not as wind sensitive as felt ones. Cheers /F

    Trip to Egypt in April 2008 - Felt or straw?

    Thank you Mineral! Checking my travel guide I saw that Luxor in April had an average of 91,5F/33C! :eek: Straw seem to be the way to go there. Thanks also for the tip about Dashur. We have a couple of days on our itinerary that we haven't filled yet. Cheers /F

    Trip to Egypt in April 2008 - Felt or straw?

    Thanks Indycop! This makes me want to start a discussion on the topic "Felt vs Damp Heat/Dry Heat". I live in a country where temperatures are very moderate compared to places like Florida. So I can't really imagine what it would be like wearing a felt hat in 80F for extended periods. Cheers /F

    Ahh...! Good advice there, Mike! And I'll try to leave my paintbrushes at home... however tempting it may be to do some pyramide grafitti. :) Cheers /M

    Hmm... our trip is just before the next IJ film so I might get away with it without being too obvious. :D /F
