Wow. Thanks to all on this thread for showing so many nice pics of this underrepresented hat. I've already looked up Levine Hat Co. in St. Louis for Newmexexpat's hat, couldn't find it there...but that one is really neat.
What a wonderful solution for both heat and humidity when, at...
Wow. Thanks, Tomasso, similar memories here from that one, seen the movie only once, however, and that was enough for a lasting impression of her with his hat. I can still hear her cooing "Tomasz".
I think surely there's an idea here for a new thread. Beautiful women wearing the hats of which we're so fond. Immediately, Lena Olen (sp? ) comes to mind in that movie based on the Milan Kundera novel, what was it, the Unbearable Lightness of Being ? If I knew something about technology at...
Alan, those are really nice brims ( as many say in Texas ). But those ribbons, goodness, they must be among a vault of spectacular vintage ribbons Mr. Fawcett has, I've seen so many on the forum; they really make them stunners. Where in the world does that stuff come from? Nice.
Marc, I'd personally like to see more of the girl before deciding. That's a lot of money, particularly in light of the commodities market these days with respect to platinum.
I'm guessing the happy smiley face thing means that you could do that? How much would we have to pay to get all of them? Are you selling that many? If so, that certainly sheds some light on the predatory pricing of your competitors. If those aren't all being purchased by someone, on the other...
Bob, no kidding, you think you could swipe as many as 200-300 hats like that in a year ? Good ones ? Pile, I recognize, would be the best place to go, but you think you get just as good elsewhere ? I'm just learning.
Bravo, there you go...it's settled then. Surely the most expensive hat in the world. I wonder if the usual suspects could give us something like that in straw. Depending on how your taste may run, I'd put my money on Milton, actually, he advertises some pretty expensive hat trim.
Aerol, I wonder what you thought about the hat. I bet it was absolutely beautiful.
I know that Mr. Black has sold at least 2 hats for 25,000USD. I've heard of 2 other sales, one for 30,000 and another for 25,000 that I'm not in a position to confirm. Wouldn't it be interesting, though...
As to commercial viability of really finely woven hats, I think you've identified something I haven't thought about yet, as we think of how good these things could really have been. Seems to me you have 3 issues: 1) the limits of the person weaving the hat; 2) the limits of the material; and 3)...
Mario, you know, after you posted that in response to my hat confessional, I went back to figure out what it is that may have given you the wrong impression about my post. What I say about Panamabob is said without irony, if that's with whom you might have thought I had some personal issue...
