If it weren't raining Charlz a panama would look great with that Guayabera. I haven't worn one of those shirts since I lived in Fla eons ago.
Hmmm...I'm thinking of buying the Sydney...isn't that the one with the lighter weight felt? How's the felt on that hat compared to the Heritage?It is raining today so the Dobbs Centre crease Panama stayed home and my Akubra Sydney came along for the ride. Does not really match my navy blue Guyabera but, I am an individual (good enough excuse I guess).

Great "Feldman"!!! You nailed it; I LOVE that movie!! Though his role was short, Gene Hackman was brilliant!
I appreciate the hat comments, I bought it off Etsy for a steal. Nice and lightweight. The proportions are perfect for me. Can't wait to see your new Dobbs!

Thanks Charlz...yeah, I like the looks of it..It's a nice looking hat and you wear it well...I've been thinking about buying one in the very near future...David Morgan wants $160 for them but I found them for about $132 at Wrangler Outpost. I have a real nice Akubra Squatter...my only issue with it is that the color is black...and I don't like black hats so I'll probably try to trade it or sell it...I bought it from a guy online really cheap and from the pictures he posted the hat looked grey...oh well...it's still a very nice hat for someone who likes black hats...I don't think it was worn but once or twice before I bought it...I wear it some to try to get used to the color, but I can't seem to warm up to it....I really am not familiar with the Heritage but the the David Morgan site says about the Sydney:
" The Sydney, named after Australia's largest city, is a Fedora in a quality soft felt specifically designed for this style. This is a true city hat you will enjoy wearing anywhere. In the classic Fedora shape, it has an open crown and a one inch ribbon band. It is usually worn with a simple lengthwise center crease and the front of the brim snapped down as popularized in the 1888 play "Fedora" by V. Sardou. The fur felt is a lighter weight felt, using a special selection of finer fur, but otherwise similar to Akubra's Imperial Quality felt. Fully lined, with a 2-1/2 inch brim and a reeded roan leather sweatband, the Sydney is an extremely comfortable hat from the first wearing. 5-1/2 inch open crown, shipped uncreased. UPF rating 50+. Made in Australia by Akubra."
PS. I love mine
Never thought I resembled him all that much, but I guess I'm flattered (flattened?) Here's the scene...

Everybody’s looking good. All those caps reminds me I need to try another one from HatPeople, only this time with a less full cut. I’ve been wearing my Tumwater around today. It’s gotten many compliments. It’s just a great hat.
