Which ribbon treatment do you like better on this hat?
Oh man, I wouldn't change a thing on the lid - it's a classic, and pretty rare, I believe. -
Which ribbon treatment do you like better on this hat?
AXL, you're probably going to have to post pictures of the Stratoliner to get answers to your question. I (most?) would be very hesitant to modify a bona-fide vintage Stratoliner unless there was something wrong with it. -
Which ribbon treatment do you like better on this hat?
Another vote for the original, dashing, thin ribbon. -
Panama Hat Thread
Looks pretty good Mr. E., I think you sold me, assuming I can get the brim to behave as well. How's the sizing on the XXL for 7-3/4? -

Brown hat with a charcol grey or black suit
Charcoal gray and chocolate brown I would do in a NY minute, picture gray flannels and a nice rich brown leather belt or briefcase. Probably not black though, especially pinstripe, not sure why. A black ribbon on the hat might change that. Scion, you've got to try brown and blue together... -
I am in need
That's an excellent argument for the hats currently taking over the shelves of the closet - and a good comprehensible rejoinder to the puzzled inquiries of my wife who is not quite understanding the affliction. Thanks and welcome.... -
seersucker suits
DC, there is tan seersucker as well - I've seen it around, although I'm not sure how prevalent it is. It's definitely more stealthy than blue, but no one blinks at seersucker in New York, of course. I agree with the light blue or white shirt when wearing a tie, anything with an open weave would... -
Stetson Retro Panama Straw Hat
Looking forward to the review. I never did pick up a Milan from the Hat Guys, simply because I already have one (duh...), but I don't have a Panama yet. I've never handled a straw with a wire in the brim - the reinforcement in the pinch looks interesting too. -
Did I get ripped off?
Re: the original purchase, it looks like a fair-enough price for the hat when you consider being able to handle it and try it on before buying. I do enjoy buying a hat in person, and don't mind paying a mild premium to do so. No one has asked yet, so I will - where is the shop on West 57th St... -

Caribou Gray
Yeah, the guys have it right above - it's a true medium gray, won't be anywhere close to carbon. It's a clever color, seems only gray, but definitely has brownish undertones, doesn't seem to have much blue, goes with a lot of different clothes. I find my Caribou Ashland to be a fine everyday... -

Had a great style and hat day in New York City
I also wear 7-3/4, so have similar troubles. Every time I've been in JJ, the only hats he has in my size are the most expensive Borsalinos, which I don't crave. So no joy there for me. For W&W, you would have to order the size and style you want, so being there in person doesn't help much... -
The nicest comment I ever heard
It's not the cabins themselves, the point is that the port-out and starboard-home cabins are situated away from the brutal tropical sun on the trip to India, and are therefore cooler. But these type of tickets apparently never existed, so it's academic. -
The nicest comment I ever heard
That's a common theory, which is regrettably not true - it has legs as it is contained in the lyrics to a song in 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang', and does sound pretty convincing. In fact, acronyms were virtually non-existent prior to the 1930s or thereabouts, so stories attributing older words to... -

Lamentations of the Large-headed!
Ah, another 7-3/4, welcome to the lounge. In addition to the good suggestions above (including those rare, large-noggin vintage lids), don't forget modern Stetsons. I have several and they are nice hats, in spite of what many detractors may say. The new silk-finish Brewster is particularly nice... -
Had a great style and hat day in New York City
Sounds like a good day in the big apple - FWIW I get shell-shock from $600 shoes and $5000 suits too. Then I go to Syms or Century 21 and get a decent suit for a discount. So what is the make and model of your first two hats? The 2nd one looks quite nice to me, a lot like a Stetson Hampton I... -
Post New Hats Here!
Agreed - so RLK, when will your Museum of Remarkable Hats have its Grand Opening? -
Post New Hats Here!
As soon as it was apparent I had no badge, the overwhelming relief resulted in multiple freshly-dispensed offerings, very welcome in the heat, as I recall... :) -
Post New Hats Here!
That's funny - last summer I happened to rent a white Dodge Charger for a road trip in the mountains north of Seattle and was wearing the hat below with the brim up and a dark green windbreaker most of the time. Wherever I drove, I caused a large number of people to spontaneously slow down to...
