Amazing, Bob. Grail hat for me.
Yeah, just.
Yeah, and the back of the bow is all tattered and all. Too bad.
JUST he says…
Nice. Now you can get people shouting “Hay Indy!” Even in the hottest weather.

Lamson Hubbard Genuine Panama - The Colonel
Tight fine weave
5 inch crown
Dimensional Brim 3 1/4 front - 3 inch sides
I had not heard of this brand Lamson Hubbard… but from the sellers photos it appeared to be a really fine weave. It has not disappointed in that regard. In person the weave is very tight and small appears almost like canvas. I find interesting that in photos the weaves do not look quite as tight as they do in person. I think I will compare the weave on this on and my Herbert Johnson Optimo. Between the liner tip and Not much sun today holding up to the sun would not provide much of an effect. The 3 1/4 by 3 inch brim seems to prefer an up brim…. But with some coaxing it will stay down sometimes. I really love the pug. Under the sweat and oilskin sweat liner revealed a made in Ecuador stamp.. some pencil notations and union tag. There is an area of discoloration on the back underside of the brim and I managed to dislodge the sweat bow and size tag while I was fiddling around. Will probably reattach. All and all…. Loving my new/old Colonel Panama.

Nice.
Thanks, Bowen. I used the Tankersley as a template but went a bit shorter on the crown (I don’t say that often).
That's quite an impressive display. I see some rain on that Gun Club. How would it fare in anything other than a touch of rain?I have enjoyed the hat parade this week folks. Thanks for sharing.

Nice hat; nice look. What is the material for that band?My favorite hats are safari type and I love the hats in Out Of Africa so ordered Akubra territory in khaki cut 1/2” off the brim, and then made this puggaree from a white textured fabric. I will probably add 4 vents on top. The puggaree came out exactly how I wanted it almost leathery and variated.
