Anyone know what happened to the Panama Bob thread? I know it wasn't really going anywhere. Just curious.

This is an important article. If you read the detail, it blows away the often-regurgitated myth that Theodore Roosevelt popularised the Panama. In fact, as reported variously since 1900, Panamas were all the rage with everyone except Roosevelt, who stubbornly refused to give up his signature slouc h hat. When he finally relented (1906?) a lot of the resultant coverage had an undertone of "Well finally, Mr President!

My frist white straw:
Looks great on you!! Unfortunately, I don't seem to be able to pull off white hats.

Indeed and how! I also have three. So lots of variety.

Well, Mrs FedOregon would not leave me alone until I went over to our local Fire Dept to grab an application for the Life Flight helicopter "amubulance" service insurance plan... but they were closed for a few minutes so I walked down the highly interesting 3rd Street here in McMinnville and stopped into an antique shop. Walked around, saw an overpriced hat box and a few too small and uninteresting hats for men and boys...
Then, on the way out... wait, what is this??? On a wall with hats for women, could it be? Oh yes, a vintage Dobbs Summerlite Regency. The grosgrain sweatband also has the name of the store, Meier and Frank Co., Portland, Oregon. Only the ribbon is an add on. It's a tight weave Montecristi, size 7 for Mrs or daughter... by my count it looks like about 19-20 rows squared, so 361-400 wpsi. A nice little hat for $15.
Pics later if I can manage the process...

Looks like it got deleted (disappeared like my money, if you want to be more poetic).

That is a pretty common Millinery technique in both straw and felt hats Fed

REAL PANAMA?
...if so, it is a one tight weave.
Oh well, lotsa summer left here in the swamps.
