Akubra Sydney: A Review
I have the charcoal and it is very dark. Most people would probably call it black but it is definitely not a "true" black. Here is a pic although colors change depending on monitor: http://home.comcast.net/~tcstang/hat4.jpg This was from my first try at shaping it done dry (comes open... -

How big is the difference between 300+wv/sq in and 500+ panama?
I love this place! You go to most forums and no matter what the subject is it is always "go with the most expensive one" lol! I am thinking I may just go with the 300. Good point about the ventilation (while it is not humid here it does get really hot) and not feeling as bad about wearing it... -

How big is the difference between 300+wv/sq in and 500+ panama?
Ok, I'll get it out of the way before someone else says it, 200 weaves/ sq in lol. My question is is there a really big difference between a 300 and 500 when it comes to look and feel? Should I take the $120 splurge to go up to the 500? Do the hatters like the higher weave (I intend to have... -

Plastic Hat Rests
Haha, my wife noticed your hat was perched on one in your avatar (I was showing her some panamas and clicked over to here) before I scrolled down to your post ;). I guess I am really observant lol . Hopefully VHS has them so I can save on shipping, if not then I will just buy 4 or 5 :D . -

Plastic Hat Rests
IC, I'll be sold if you tell me you would put Remembrance on it ;). Kilroy, shipping is $4.95 so not bad if you buy a few but keep it under $25 (shipping increases at that point). I think my local hat store (Village Hat Shop) may have them but the people at Noggin Tops were great to deal... -

Help name my Hat
Living in Sacramento I just keep thinking of Blue Diamond (as in the almond growers lol ). It would lend itself to the nutty color (granted it looks darker than almond) and the diamond crease. Confuse most people why it isnt blue though :D Tim -

Plastic Hat Rests
What do you all think of these (click on "view alternate image" to see it in use): https://www.noggintops.com/page.cfm?p=86 Do you all think they would be good for short term (overnight) storage? Long term storage (in a box)? I was thinking of picking one up for at home and one for at... -

Panamabob panama blocked by Art, contact PanamaBob or Art?
I know a number of you have PB Panama's blocked by Art (Absinthe's posted in March is burned into my mind :) ) and was curious who you actually "bought" the hat from? Is this a chicken/egg situation? PB website does offer a U.S. block but based on what I have read, he uses three (I think)... -

Newbie: Lucky or Sucker, you decide...
Wow, simply amazing! I think we all dream of coming upon a stash like what you did no matter what the hobby is. I am sure the owner of the shop is relieved that he doesn't have to deal with having to sell off his inventory one piece at a time (taking off the band-aid theory). -

Getting the "I don't know what a bash is" comment from a hat shop?
After getting my Sydney's bash to where I like it, I am so glad I just followed everyones advice and did it myself :). I wore it around San Francisco last weekend at a conference I was at and got a lot of compliments. It is funny how many people just look at you when you are wearing a fedora... -

Getting the "I don't know what a bash is" comment from a hat shop?
Haha, yup, another buckethead. When I went into The Village Hat Shop (not the shop I called earlier) in town a few weeks ago the very nice sales person told me I was the first person who came into the shop saying they had a big head to actually have a big head. They had nothing to fit me lol. -

Getting the "I don't know what a bash is" comment from a hat shop?
When I asked my grandpa if he ever wore a fedora (which he still does sometimes and did growing up as a kid in NYC) he used the word "bash" too.
