You've not actually responded to any of the suggestions. Not even "thanks, folks."
You're welcomed!

Hi folks. Sorry, I was at work then I had my 6 year old. Sorry for the multiple posts but after I created the thread I was unable to find the option to delete it for some reason. The first post, I was told, I might be in the wrong section. So then I posted it in the ask a question section. Thanks for the recommendations. I'm still having a really hard time finding a hat that truly matches the one in the picture. Probably something and I the high-end handmade store and not something online is my guess.

You guys might want to be more patient with your new members. For example, I don't know what palm leaf is. Is that a style of hat or just the material? Also I didn't know I needed to thank everyone within hours of their reply. I've never owned anything other than a ball cap, but I think I'll look elsewhere for tips and a less clicky vibe.

Hi Mike.

I'm relatively new here too. I have to say, I have found the people here to be patient, friendly, generous, passionate and informative.

We are spread all over the world (I'm in Australia) and like you we've got work and family commitments. Members respond to posts/questions as and when they can.

I don't want to speak for others, but perhaps people were a bit put off by what seemed to be the impatience of you posting the one question on 3 different threads. I suggest posting once and then sitting back and waiting for replies. It can be very hard to follow and contribute to a conversation if that conversation is not contained to a single thread.

Please don't be put off. I have made a number of forum etiquette mistakes along the way. I don't think anyone is going to hold it against you.

Welcome to the Lounge and good luck with your search for the illusive straw/hemp hat.

Dont let it bother you. We're just a bunch of cranky old men.

The hat in the photo looks a bit like my Vintage Silhouettes Milan straw (by Art Fawcett). You might want to take a look at Art's threads here on the lounge. Easiest way to do it is simply Google "Art Fawcett Milan straw". It's a fantastic hat that eventually develops a beautiful golden color.

he's right ... there can definitely be a cliquey vibe here ... I've felt the wrath of it a time or two.
you say something a few don't like and they start harkening for the old days when old so and so used to post here ...
I had one cat tell me that he judges peoples hat knowledge by their join date ... gotta love that one

I love that logic!!!

If the general populous started using internet forums in 1996 does that mean nobody knew anything about anything before then?

I may have misquoted him ... I think it was more like he bases his respect of posters on their join date ... still equally as stupid
