First Panama Day of the Year!

[Kaleponi Craig]

Today it's a gorgeous 70 degrees in the SF Bay Area. I donned my Panama for the first time since October. It sure felt good!...KC

You too eh? I've had a few days up on you though. I started wearing mine on Sunday. ;) :D

[duggap]

You guys are going to get into trouble.:D

[GentlemanFarmer]

I certainly hope they get in trouble. I had to put on my old western beater to shovel the driveway this evening. Sheesh !!!

No trouble at all. I am donning it now to leave the office and cavort in the decent weather. Did I mention I hate snow? ;) :p

Jealous. :p

You lucky dog!!!:D
I have worn mine... but not because the weather was right.

[Yohanes]

Although Indonesia is a tropical country, since early this year we've been experiencing very heavy rain and wind, until today. That's why I postpone my plan to search for straw fedora... this foul weather would ruin it in a matter of seconds!

It's rainy today but Spring is right around the corner! We just went through a week or more of Panama weather. Unfortunately, my Montecristi was vacationing in Oregon with a certain semi-well known hatter who's initials are Art Fawcett.

The important thing is that it's back and looks great. I might have to visit Art and see what he can do with me!

[Samsa]

I wish I could wear mine, but it's currently 20 degrees out. At least that's warmer than the 3 degree day we had over the weekend.:mad:

Tom, this was from the San Francisco Ukulele Festival, held last September. This was my first serious Panama from Paul's Hat Works in San Francisco...

Very nice photo - Panama jam session with Hawaii (?) shirt and RayBan...:)

[KilroyCD]

I'm waiting for Panama hat (and Hawaiian shirt) weather as well. Especially after yesterday's ice storm. :(

Hi,

San Francisco weather and Seattle weather tend to be roughly similar. Not this year, apparently! It's still too cold & wet for Panamas & other straws up here in Seattle.

This weekend though, it'll finally stretch to 60F/15C. I'll break a couple of straws out of storage just to celebrate the approach of spring. One of them I bought last year on eBay from Mrs. PanamaBob. It lacks the greatness of a true PanamaBob, perhaps, but at least I know it's not a fake Panama made in China or some such place.

Cheers,
Mark

It's always Hawaiian Shirt weather as far as I'm concerned. Sometimes an undershirt is needed, but I always wear Hawaiian shirts except when a band uniform shirt is required, or a Long Sleeve and Coat are needed.

Kaleponi Craig - ALOHA - Nice to see a Ukelele player here. I'm a "slack-head", sometimes referred to as a "slacker". Ki Ho'alu is my musical passion at this time. And I always wear a Fedora when playing.

It'll be in the 80s here in sunny Florida tomorrow and I have an outdoor gig doing caricatures at an antique car festival. (Really antiques - a touring show of cars 100 years and older!)

Still, I haven't been able to bring myself to wear my Panamas yet. Got one really serious one and a few others I don't have to worry about. Gonna' get a few more weeks in with my felts before it gets ungodly hot here, then it's straws all summer!

Later,

I don't want to spoil all your anticipation and fun but I have been wearing my Panama for nigh on 4 months! :D :D :D :D ;)
