    I think this picture is reversed. In 1953, President Harry Truman came to Baxter County to dedicate the Norfork and Bull Shoals dams. (Photo: Courtesy of BCHGS)

    Love that blazer. Too bad they aren't worn here often.

    Favorite Panama Hatmakers and/or stores

    I have found that one must watch the thread count. Too little, it's a cheapo. Too tight, then it can be as warm as felt. In addition, I have found Panama's that don't have a sweat band. Leave them alone.

    Favorite Panama Hatmakers and/or stores

    Brent Black's hats are exquisite. I have one that is the priciest hat I own. I wear it when going out for the evening or important social events during the day. Temps exceed 100 often here in SoCal and the hat feels and looks fine. I also have a much less expensive one from St. Augustine that...

    The Official Stetson Nutria Quality Thread

    I had that done to a Stetson western hat. It looks great! Who's afraid of the hat gods anyways? KABOOM! (NOTE TO READER: I now have a semblance to Wil E. Coyote of Roadrunner fame.)

    Collarless Shirts and Detachable Collars

    Darcy is a great place. My problem with those damn English shirts are their sleeve lengths. If you have long arms you are okay. If you have the lead time go to Rhyce Winterbourne in Australia. He can make a custom shirt for you. Great selection of collars, shapes and heights as well. I...

    Tuxedo with a fedora?

    A black fedora would be okay. A dark homburg would be more formal I would think. I agree that the top hat would be out with a tuxedo.

    I must be old. I remember those items as well. Of course I never cut class to play pool and drink beer.

    The Non Shorpy Web All Stars.

    Seems odd for an ole timey Texas having a poodle as his pet dog. Shows his depth and complexity of character. BTW, I like poodles.

    New in town and I need help Panama hat

    Don't apologize for not understanding why a person would wear socks with flip flops. For men, a certain type of undergarment is helpful at times when wearing swim trunks. As for the grade system, I have found it worthless. Make sure whatever you do get a Panama hat with a hat band in it.

    New in town and I need help Panama hat

    I would suggest Panama Hat Company of St. Augustine. You can find very nice hats for less than $100. They are dressy enough without expending lots. I have had one for quite some time now and it holds up well. I travel with it a lot as my much more expensive Brent Black hat I can't afford to...
