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

    That seller did you a favor by botching those initial width/length figures. I think that hat would have sold for a lot more if it were a true 7-1/8. Nice buy and good luck on the fit!

    Dobbs Hanover Square

    Yes, I have four Hanovers and a couple Whippets. The Dobbs is a quality hat and a pretty good job of capturing the Whippet proportions. They seem to pop up fairly frequently on Ebay and came in a variety of colors. They were just dressy enough to have been kept in nice condition in many...

    COCKTAIL MAKING - The classic Cuba Libre

    Years ago I stopped in a little tavern in "Little Havana" Miami, Florida. I was in a rum & Coke phase then and when I ordered same, it became obvious that no English was spoken there. I remembered to ask for it by the name, "Cuba Libre" and I added "dos" since I was with a friend. When the...

    Spice Suggestions

    That is a great way to go. When I have done this I have also added fresh lime juice and a drop of Liquid Smoke. The tangy citrus plays against the sweetness of the honey. Yum.

    Gosh. I love hats.

    I like how willing people are around here to help one another and to do favors. In that spirit, if you need any of your hats made into stingy brims, just send 'em over and I'll take it from there. :D

    Ultrafinopanamahats?

    I saw that PanamaBob post and it obviously was, in fact, a fake Chinese paper woven hat being marketed like a panama. It happens. As far as the number of vueltas being an indicator of fineness of weave, well, yes and no. The photo below is of my 2,500 wpi Montechristi and it only has eleven...
