Wearing Braces / Suspenders
All I can tell you is that my 82 yr. old FIL was/is (AS HE THINKS OF HIMSELF AS 35 YRS. OLD) a real, honest to G-D Alberta cowboy on the high plains (The the roughest, toughest, rootinest, shootinest, drinkinnest, fightinest!). He always wears both suspenders & a belt with a vest worn with a...- Rick Blaine

...ever have that "not so fresh feeling"?
I have a "Joe Fedora" polyprop "milan". It looks great, hard to tell it's not straw. But I haven't really worn it this summer, but it is a heavier hat than a Panama (as is a real milan). Do you think that my above "Sokool" might be a non-straw construction, cause it has kept me quite cool.- Rick Blaine

Historic Keeneland Raceway Hat 7 1/4
Trade(s) considered? I know this is a moving sale but I thought I'd ask anyway. Lovely & rare item. Like the Hoyt Hat Co.'s "Demon Hanover". Even though I would have to stretch it up a size, that is special!- Rick Blaine

Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
About as you would hope, the brim sits on the flange & heads off at a more or less 90 degree angle. The tension on the interior seems to aid this. I'd take a photo of it in My AB now, were I not so wiped... and today is only Monday! :eusa_doh:- Rick Blaine

Minolta flash III I have a good well working Minolta flash III that measures ambient as well as flash exposures. Might be a bit of overkill though. $100 USD inc. shipping. I also have a ton of Nikon 35mm film cameras/lenses, if interested. They are old enough to be "vintage" if not...- Rick Blaine

Panama Hat Thread
Thanks. I am grieving. Mr. F said of the hat "It's obviously parabuntal but I wasn't aware they were woven this early nor that there was a market in Japan." (para-"fine" + buntal- "straw" in Tagalog-i.e. Filipino). Look for it soon in a classified section near you. :cry:- Rick Blaine

Hat Repair Help
A bit of live steam from the kettle & some gentle manipulation by hand may well put it right. Put something firm, a glass or bowl, behind the crown as you attempt to flatten the creases caused by the careless and errant butt that used it for a seat. Love the ribbon! Good luck.- Rick Blaine
