I actually have two Panama hats. One has a 2 1/8 inch brim and one has a 3 1/2 inch brim. The larger brim looks crazy on me and the smaller one just looks too small. I am tying to decide between a 2.5 inch brim or 2.75 inch brim.

I have a question about choosing the brim width for a panama hat. I am 5'5" and fairly skinny. What would be a recommended brim width for my body shape? Thank you.

I hope someone can point me in the right direction. I got a small oil spot on my Banjo Paterson Hat at a restaurant the other day. What is the best way to try to remove it?

Thank you....I am trying to see the green.

I thought pecan was a shade of brown.

Thank you so much!! That is very helpful. I am leaning to the pecan and possibly the granite. I will ask about the granite. If I pick the granite, I would prefer the shade that has the brown undertones.

I am having VS Custom Hats make me my first custom hat. As others have commented with their experiences, I am having a hard time deciding on a color. I want something more casual and have been thinking about a light brown color. I think I am having a hard time seeing the colors from the...
