Thanks!
So beaver is better. Sounds like it wears really well. Does it look different? Could a passerby tell? I mean, I *like* seeing anyone wearing a good Panama hat. Is it as nice seeing a good felt hat? Does beaver breathe different from wool while being worn? Will beaver stand up to being rained on?
My Stetson is a Soverign. I've had it 30 yrs, wear it a dozen times every autumn/winter/early spring. Likely cost around 100.
...I have two hats from my grampa -- maybe from the 20s-30s. A bowler and top hat. Wonder what they're made of... Bowler is Dunlap Superb, a dull smooth look. Top hat is shiny and a bit "hairy".
