    Since it's reversible, what's the reverse look like?

    How much rain can an Akubra take?

    That should work. Steam is steam.

    How much rain can an Akubra take?

    Try steaming it with a teapot while it's in the open crown shape, then let it cool off for a while, and that should reactivate the stiffeners in the felt. Then shape it and steam it again to set it.

    Looks great. Don't worry, it'll shrink up and conform.

    Panama dress hats in movies

    Atticus Finch's beautiful Panama optimo from To Kill a Mockingbird came immediately to mind.

    A STEAL OF A HAT

    What makes that great is that you can get it at Sears. Not Spencer's Gifts, not a Johnson Smith catalog, but Sears.

    Thanks, and I agree. Day to day I mostly wear fedoras or pork pies and wear the boaters when I'm in that particular mood for them. Same with my Panama optimo. Yup, a National Triolian metal body. Wooden neck, not Bakelite.

    Thanks, it just had its 80th birthday. The guitar, not the hat. ;)

    Panama Hat Thread

    Even if it's a rollable/packable/foldable Panama, you're still decreasing its lifespan by folding it, which is why they don't recommend it. It's that old adage, "Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should. I'll leave the final word to Panamabob, but I would say that everything...

    Nice one. I also thought of Johnny Knoxville in Men in Black II. Oh, I remember seeing that photo on another thread, but I didn't realize it was the same hat. That looks amazing. Great work by Art, as usual.

    what in the word is going on here?

    He's cagey enough to never claim that the hat was owned by Michael Jackson or that it's a licensed Michael Jackson product. It just has the name (and not necessarily the Michael Jackson's name--it could be any Michael Jackson, theoretically), and I don't believe you can copyright a proper name...

    Wow, that looks great except for one thing. Next time tell Art to leave off that little human head protruding out of it. Art is usually infallible, but I don't know what he was thinking with this one. ;) Joking aside, what color is the ribbon? I like it a lot. Was that an addition by Art?

    I wanted an Arcadia, but I couldn't find one in the right size and the right color. The Soul looks like it's about the same shape and crown height, just with a slightly narrower brim. It doesn't feel like a 2 1/4" brim to me; it feels more like 2 3/8". When I measured it it was in between...
