+1 Since I only have a vague memory of being a 20 something, my physical proportions do not allow me to successfully pull off a Justin Timberlake stingy brim and I have less than zero interest in appearing to be an aging hipster I really must pass on the street punk fedoras. Since what others...

OK, on the straw hat vs. felt hat issue. My research seems to identify 15 May as the date to start wearing straw hats. I've seen felt hat day as anywhere from 01 Sept to 15 Sept (although 15 Sept seems pretty definitive.) The logic is sound. After 15 May the function of a hat is shade as...

Just the old standby my weekend beater Panama for out and about today. Right now relaxing with a cold beer.

What we have here is a basic lack of home training. I mean that's day one stuff. When a man extends his hand shake it, open doors for ladies, respect your elders, and above all else, KEEP YOUR FILTHY (*hands*) OFF ANOTHER MAN"S HAT!!!! I must say my Panama is off to you for your restraint...

OK then umbrella and beater panama (expendable) for rainy days. Remove excess water from hat when able let dry in a non stressed position.

I've read in various places that Panama hats are a poor choice for rainy days. Should I switch to a wool felt hat on rainy days? Will exposure to rain ruin a Panama?

Hat and Coat are real nice but the full quill ostrich boots are absolutely the poo! Lookin Good!

Thanks Billy, The stache is an ongoing project, unfortunately I no longer have enough head hair to worry about so I figured I'd style my soup strainer instead lol The hat is my around the house and weekend beater. I'll pull out my good work Panama tomorrow.

No Dog Rockets for the Fat Man Sorry fellas just not feeling the stogies. For me it's Prince Albert in a freakishly hideous (but very reliable) no name rhodesian. Ironically I grew up in the Cigar City (Tampa) and never took the habit. Now that I think about it, I don't golf either.

Old Panama Worked from home today so I went casual and wore my old thrift store special Panama. I think the stash is coming in real nice too

Killer shirt Goose:eusa_clap

I wonder if the winning bidder gets a free bowl of soup...or a labotomy! That thing looks like someone shot a footstool and threw it on their head lol

Strange to see Al Pacino as a young shaggy hippy type.

Please do it and post pics, I've been wondering about snakeskin bands for a while, I bet it would look pretty keen on a tan colored Campdraft and a 9 button rattle would make a really nice "feather" for such a hat band. My problem is all the on-line sources seem to sell western (as opposed to...

Carter, Great looking lid for sure my friend, looking dapper as usual. I think it's a little known codicle of the FL by laws that if you sport a panama and flowerdy shirt, you get extra credit if you shaved with a classic safety razor and either used bay rum aftershave or drank a mojito after...
