I hate to tell you this, but that thar dat burn hat you got is a yankee hat. You could get shot wearing that thing down south. (Really is a nice hat, by the way).

She ain't blue, she's black and the south wore any color hat they could get including straws. If someone did try somethin they would get more than they bargained for!

Man I am glad you straightened that out. We were worried for you.

Link worked fine for me. Best effort so far to promote hats
to a younger crowd- good luck to you.

So what do you mean by "Panama straws"?
Straw from the country Panama, straw in the Panama style from the
country Ecuador, or ...

I don't see any wide brim options? Looks like you use ribbon rather
than soft leather for the sweatband?

...the south wore any color hat they could get including straws. ...

The soldiers who needed another hat would get up next to passing trains & when gentlemen would stick their heads out of the train car windows to see & wave at the troops, the soldiers would knock the hats off their heads with tree branches, hoping to get one near their size!!!! Color hardly mattered.

That hat looks GREAT on you, Dean - and it kind of has the look of having already been broken in somehow... [huh]

Thanks Gene. It does already have a 'vintage' patina to it for some reason.... [huh]

Custom Hat

Hello. I have a custom milliner in Michigan who makes marvelous men's hats - Bowlers, Top Hats and of course, Fedoras. I imagine she could even design any hat your imagination could come up with. genaconti.com. Feel free to tell her Miss Lindstrom recommended you. Bon Chance!
Kind wishes, klind65

French Hat

Hi all,

I'd like to share with you all my 2nd hat I've bought. I bought it on my holiday in France in a so called "Chapellerie" in La Rochelle. It's a hat manufactured in France with the brand name "Crambes". It seems to be a rather big hat manufacturing company as they produce 1500 hats per day => http://www.crambes-hats.com (sorry not to much English language on French websites :eusa_doh. The hat is also crushable, water repellent and has the same characteristics as the "Vitafelt" hats from Stetson.

Enjoy,

Gusman

Here are some pictures of my new hat:

2-3/8" brim 5-1/2" crown. Looks like new other than a few tiny moth nips. Anyone care to guess its age?

Thanks Mr. P but I prefer "litely aged", as on the road to vintage....
