Also not exactly new as this was a Christmas hat like Cooncatbob's, but here is my newest, a sub-fino Panama. I like the more open weave to help keep this noggin cool on hot days.

That pink ribbon is simply stunning. I wonder how that would look on a medium gray body...
I don't get to visit Art's site often, 'cause it's a wee bit taxing on dialup -- is that one of Art's limited editions, or your own design?

Just a great piece of work and fabulous crown. Also I find it interesting how if you do not want a particularly high 50s crown a smaller or thinner ribbon can make a smaller or shorter crown appear higher.

I provided the dimensions of the hat, 5 3/4 crown, diamond crease and dimensionally cut brim 2 3/8 front and back 2 1/4 on the side and Art picked out the ribbon.Great hats, all! But I'm especially partial to...

The camera flash lightened the color, the felt is darker hickory/pecan and the ribbon is actually more like the color of chocolate milk until light hits it and the the rosy highlights show and the cross band of the ribbon is burgundy.
I wanted the high crown but less brim then my Hoosier and I didn't want it to be mistaken for an Indy hat.
Wow... and I thought it looked great in the picture! I can only imagine it in real life... stunning.
