Hungary Tom: the disaster of the Japanese visitor to Paris standing before a closed Quai d'Orsay door could be only worse if this person actually already knows exactly what's behind it...a phenomenal, fantastic, museum (AND the restaurant there, what exquisite level of professionalism of the...
Undoubtedly true! I believe trying to score a high quality Montecristi would take several visits, departure, re-appearance and a measure of luck finding "the" hat. At the right price! Like any worthwhile venture, all involved must become convinced of the seriousness, dedication and competence...
Preliminary remark: no pictures! If some one could point out to me how to get the photo's from my computer to this article...?... thanks (sorry for being a nitwit).
Irène and I went to Ecuador on a three-week holiday, taking locally available bus transport to visit varying places of interest...
Well, hi Kevin, I'm into buying a hat for myself, provided it be a very nice hat for an interesting price (and I also need to buy a "Panama" for a friend who's just superficially interested in hats). But I'd be a fool if I were not interested in the whole process of making these hats. I'll...
Ok now, we're two weeks away from flying to Quito, where the intention is to stay a few days, then (probably) spend a few days more north, then off more to the south, to the Cuenca area. Whilst there, we intend to go to Sigsig, to visit the womens' weaving cooperative. Hopefully they have nice...

So see u but! :confused:
Bash it here, bash it there, ain't fragile! Steam it over, all over, nice and humid (don't overheat the leather sweatband, though). Thereafter, the felt feels nice and the hat looks tight...
Thank you all!
Indeed, vibrant colours, electric guitars...anything but the usual black and grey many older people -for some reason their own, which I respect- tend to wear. BTW, these shirts go well with my toquilla hats, the common link must be ...summer. We've been having a good one, this...
Mikespens, your reply is a generous gesture in that it opens wide open the gates to knowledge, diplomatically impartial, and generally an open-ended invitation to discover. Thank you for that!
Less than a fortnight ago, an Easy or eBay picture strongly drew my attention to a very "modern art"...
Way back the late 1970's, when I first timidly started wearing hats around the youthful age of 30 years, my first hat was stolen from me.
