Hey gtdean, where did you get that cool open road jacket and is it leather?

Thats really nice, wish it was a 7-3/8 or 7-1/2.

Don't forget about Texas Jeans brand made in North Carolina out of all USA made components. My wife and I both like and wear these jeans, better than anything out there and all for the cost of a pair of Levi's.

Thanks, I'm going to order one and the weather here is already almost too hot for my fur felt hats, mid seventies today and over eighty degrees on Tuesday.

Woody That hat looks good on you but can you tell me the brim size and also how does it feel with no sweatband?

I second that. Nice Panama

My first hats were short brimmed western style hats(3"-3-1/2") brim sizes but now I live in hot and humid south Texas and getting more and more into panama hats.

Thats a great look michael

I have a 5x beaver and the felt is thin compared to my other hats but has a really nice feel to it. I think the quality of the felt is better than my 4x Stetson.

Exactly the reasons I am looking at them. Please let me know what you think when you get yours.

Scott, You may want to look at berkeleyhat.com, they have some nice panama hats at reasonable prices and they are shipped from California, not S America. I am looking at the Panama Hat Extra Fino for $63.00 plus $7.00 shipping, seems like a good deal?

I am also looking on e-bay for a straw hat but I have yet to see one offered by Ecuacorp. Can you give us a item number for a closed auction of theirs so we can see what is being offered.

Confused about straws I am looking at buying a Montecristi hat and know nothing about them but after a little investigating I AM even more confused. What is Montecristi. I found that it was actually a brand name but it seems that everyone calls a straw hat a montecristi. I even found one made...

Fur Quality Someone told me that the thinner the felt the better the quality, is this true?
