Straw hat suggestions?

[Torpedo]

Hello,

I am looking for some alternative straw hats to my Panama (featured in my “newbie inauguration post”). I’m thinking of different colours and shapes, these caught my attention:

This Biltmore Porkpie is available in Steel Gray.

http://bencrafthats.com/product.php?pid=152&subcname=Straw+Hats

This comes in Ivory/Black and Ivory/Tan varieties that look attractive.

This is available in black.

Any opinions or suggestions? I mean “classic” colours, like gray, black or brown shades, either on their own or combined and I am partial to Porkpie or Stingy shape.

Any thoughts on alternative Panama styles also welcome!

Regards,

Daniel

There are some nice pics of the Stetson Andover in the post new hats thread.

Daniel-

Bencraft has a great assortment, as you know. Check out
this line of straw hats at the Village Hat Shop.

Like Bencraft, they are fine folks to deal with.

I have gray Dobbs fedora strawhat that I'm very pleased with. Looks really sharp.

I have one traditional panama fedora, and am eagerly awaiting a vintage Dobbs Milan in the mail these days. I like the retro look of vintage milan fedoras, and figure this new one will complete my straw hat collection (at least until I find another I can't live without...don't tell anyone).
