    Hiya 'bama! :) Nice hats- I'll call dibs on the tan, second from right- but all seriousness aside value, depends on size, condition & (to a lesser degree) provenance. If what you have are size 7 1/4 or larger they would do ok, IMO.

    X-Post Panama question. I finally had the oppor-knockety to weigh (what I think to be) my finest panama (no name, no brand, no ID, cotton sweat), the weave is, literally, finer than grains of sand on the beach, it is like a fine cloth & it flaps like a flag w/ a stiff wind. I removed the pug...

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    Had to do it I could not resist buying a 50+ year old hat for forty nine cents more than it sold for when new. I am NOT a cowboy, I dunno where I would ever wear it & it seems a shame to cut down that brim. BUT I love everything about this hat FANTASTIC crease, ruby red liner, cool...

    Stetson Open Road Panama Straw.

    Is that even POSSIBLE? Will most panamas hold up to re-crease? I thought it was pretty much a "done deal". Please document your process and progress!

    Stetson Open Road Panama Straw.

    Good question I will definitely snap the brim down, but I dunno if the crown really is even able to take a re-crease. Does anyone recognize the weave? Is it a Monti, a Cuenca Brisa, Llano or what? [huh] I understand Monti's can take a reblock. Cuenca's- not so well. But my ignorance...

    That looks great!!! I was lucky enough to nail the above in a BIN the other day. Not of great antiquity, but seems to be in nice shape & I have needed a HOPKINS of BALTIMORE as I do not own one. For some reason Baltimore was the very center of the US Panama Hat world. Anyone know why...

    Re: yeah, well... bond; If someone uses this board primarily to shill overpriced felt, I don't like it. It is taking & not contributing to the community. It is taking advantage of the good will & hard work of others. It is crass hucketerism, it is being a parasite. Though...
