Boston blockers I'm back to the Lounge after a long absence, but knew this was the best place for help. I have a go-to Cuenca Brisa that has seen some great miles & held up well. On a recent vacation, I put the hat in the rental minivan in a place where I definitely wouldn't forget it as I...

Woo hoo! Just got the USPS notice that Art put my topper in the mail. He was working his magic on a Montecristi...I'll get some pics as soon as it's in my paws. C-C

Second that - Beautiful hat...and you wear it well! I really like that light-colored felt. C-C

Looks like he honored the Pats' colors there!

Woo Hoo! I had a wonderful conversation with Mr. Fawcett today - and my Panama is going on the block! I ordered a SuperFino from PanamaBob, and Art says it's a beauty - Bob even got the weaver to initial the inside for me. Just in time for the warm weather! I'll get pictures up as soon as it...

Wonderful photos! Is that a recent shot of the hatter - that is can I find him still here in Boston? C-C

Great hat - but even greater shirt! I love that design! Cheers, C-C

I'm also a big Yankees fan - but the Rangers earned the win...Congratulations to them and their fans! After the blown call giving the Yankees the tie, karma won out. To keep it near topic - I'm wearing a Yankees cap in mourning as I type. C-C

Great looking hat, Rodkins! I'm envious of your weather - it's 48 degrees in Boston, so my Cuenca Rio remains on the shelf. Cheers! C-C

I'll send my specs along with yours... saw the same thing! :eusa_doh: :o Cheers! C-C

Would that be for your BBB or for your Gov't Issue lids?;) C-C

Great hat - it works well overall! I am a particular fan of the ribbon. My lone Panama hat (for now!) has a band like yours - no bow but a knot - and I really like the simplicity and the style. That aesthetic is pulled off beautifully in your hat. The matching bound edge works wonderfully...

If you go back to post 1450, I've got a few photos of my Rio Plata from PB. Love the hat, and Robert is a pleasure to work with. Cheers! C-C

lol lol You're right there - I've been known to pull the brim down to keep me from chasing a topper down the street. Of the three, my limited experience is that the hat back on the head is the most accurate characterization. Still, a fun "guide" - to my mind;) Cheers! C-C

Reminds me of a scene in the 80's movie "Murphy's Romance" with James Garner, who's giving advice about wearing cowboy hats: "It's not how you bend 'em, it's how you wear 'em. You wear it back on your head it says you're easy-going, you like people. You wear it cocked over to the side...
