Panama Hat Thread
I don't think it's fighting you, then. The brim's just gone wonky. It looks to me like the main problem is that the back of the brim has lost its upcurl and gone flat. I would fire up the teapot and hold the brim against the steam, shaping the brim while you're steaming it, keeping your hands...- Mr E Train

A couple of Homburg questions
Yeah, I knew they didn't have a gray one, but I wasn't sure if you were married to the idea of a light gray hat or not. I do think that light gray would be ideal for you. I don't know if a gray hat with a gray band is necessarily too "fancy" for a business suit, but I believe that a light gray...- Mr E Train

DOBBS CROSS COUNTRY MODERN EQUIVALENT?
When you say "got my hands on" do you mean that you actually own one, or that you just got to try it out? I'm guessing the latter, because if you owned one I don't see why you would need to find the modern equivalent. Plus, I know you have a gigantic cranium like mine, thus the need for a...- Mr E Train

A couple of Homburg questions
What color are your shoes? If they're black shoes, I would get a black, navy or gray hat, although a brown hat with a black band could work because the band can "tie it together." Brown shoes, I would get a brown, tan or navy hat, although gray could work too because gray pretty much goes with...- Mr E Train

A puggaree hatband would work just fine, Ernest. I hope you didn't hurt anything by soaking it. If the brim warps on you, just use a steam iron on a medium setting, put the hat on a flat surface and press it and shoot it with steam, letting the iron come in contact with the hat no more than a...- Mr E Train

What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
That's a Hipstamatic shot, a camera app for the iPhone. That looks like the Kodot film with a John S lens if I'm not mistaken. Very good shot, much better than any self-shots I've managed to take with it.- Mr E Train

Do hats get women?
Honestly, wearing a hat's not going to get you women any more than not wearing a hat's going to get you women. Confidence gets you women, and good looks helps. To illustrate, the brother of a friend of mine was a real good looking guy, but more than that, he had no shortage of confidence. He...- Mr E Train

What size would a 9"X7" opening be?
Hence my comment above. A 9-inch length and a 7-inch width would definitely equate to some form Long Oval, maybe an Extra Long Oval. 7 3/4 Regular Oval size hats that I have are usually somewhere between 8 1/4" x 7" and 8 1/2" x 7". Oh, and thanks. I do hope the hat works out for you. What...- Mr E Train

I have the distinct feeling that if that seller worked on a construction site and there were two jobs available--the guy who measures and the guy who cuts-- he (or she) would be the guy who cuts. :rolleyes:- Mr E Train

What size would a 9"X7" opening be?
You can use an ellipse calculator to get some idea of the circumference in inches, and then use a hat size chart to figure out what that equates to. As a guess, I'd say that 9" x 7" equates to about a size 7 7/8 Long Oval, maybe even an 8. Whatever it is, that's a big hat. Is this an eBay...- Mr E Train

Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
That isn't really an auction, though, it's a "buy it now" only. I'm not sure if that's technically allowed, but I don't think it's as bad as posting a link to a live auction where there's an actual bidding process.- Mr E Train
