A Panama Hat worthy of FDR
It is just around 2,500 wpi. I got 2,444 specifically in one section (confirmed by Hungary Tom) but there can be variance throughout the hat. Earlier in this thread there are the 1 inch square photo enlargements for you to see. ----------- I'm OK with the brim too but I needed to...- HarpPlayerGene

A Panama Hat worthy of FDR
Thanks everyone. You guys are all 'Aces'!! Late last night I did successfully tweak (just a little bit) the shape of the brim from the front. I was more nervous working with this than I've ever been with a hat. I left the back of the brim alone. I really like the overall look now - more...- HarpPlayerGene

A Panama Hat worthy of FDR
As for Graham's thoughts, I touched on that in post #131. I haven't talked with him since he received the hat and called me. He's not usually a very enthusiastic, talkative type but he went on for about ten minutes solid about what a uniquely fine hat this is. It was during this conversation...- HarpPlayerGene

Post New Hats Here!
Thanks fellas. Yes, I think I'll leave the crown alone. After coaxing the front brim down a bit though, this hat has something of a "You inna heapa' trouble" vibe to it that you'll probably appreciate, Mr. P. :D Here's the color as it sits between a silverbelly Open Road and a natural...- HarpPlayerGene
