Biltmore factory closing.
59Lark, You are D@MN right & I hate to see this, too, pass from the scene, very sad. But I must say every Magill I have ever seen has been, well, total shite, quite frankly, costume grade. Nice blocks but truly awful materials & finishing. I will pin my hopes on Smithbilt- and hope it will...- Rick Blaine

Stetson Greasewood : what do you think ?
The "Greasewood" is a horror- step away... likely make a nice saddle or tack. LOL All the Akubra advice is sound. Pound for pound (or Euro to Euro, Dollah to dollah') there is no better hat made today. They are tough as nails! As tough as bricks & will take the kicks. Though given your...- Rick Blaine

Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
I did not know when the Cav went extinct. I am hoping the brim'll be 2 3/8" or better. If the color shift isn't too bad I may remove the ribbon & put a pug or leather band on.- Rick Blaine

Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
How vintage is this Stetson? ...black liner I have never seen- black sweat argues against any great age, I think. But is that a Cav (mode, custom) edge? I think it might be. [huh]- Rick Blaine

Panama Hat Thread

Panama Hat Thread
PB is tops Panama Bob will always give you the best deal. His rep is impeccable. I have never handled his fine Montis, but if his cheap brisas are any indication, they must be mighty fine. DM & Pandor, I am sure are fine. but PB is closer to the ground, hence- no middleman markup. And he...- Rick Blaine

Steston Open Road in straw
Hot as Haich E double hokey sticks today! Howdy Kansas & a belated welcome! That Atwood Austin sure looks the part. The consensus here seems largely that palm (as opposed to Panama- a different palm fiber) is not light or cool enough for summer. That said- folks living near the equator...- Rick Blaine

Economics of hat retailing
Discouraging, so much education that must accompany retailing (hell- wholesale too, I am sure) such esoteric things as are hats today. I would never drop 5 bills on a suit -cause I am a workin' stiff who'd have $500 on a hanger in perpetuity. I just do not wear such- on or off the job...- Rick Blaine
