That is a good looking lid, with the straw look, and the price is not too bad either. A definite possibility.

Thanks DRB. I currently have 4 Panamas, but they are not really well suited for the environment I will be in during my vacation. Which is why I am looking for other options out there. Great feedback to purchase the hat in Orlando. I actually looked there back in March and did not find what I...

Good morning everyone. Hope a great weekend was had by all. I have a family vacation coming up to the Orlando Florida area in late June (yes, it will be hot and steamy) and I am looking for some suggestions on a good hat. Originally thinking that I would pack a couple of Panamas, but not...

Dobbs Well, I am new to vintage hats, but I picked this one up a couple of weeks ago. Seems OK to me, much nicer than my Hats in the Belfry fedora that I have which is my only direct comparison for new vs vintage hats...

Well, I cut down the straw(s) that were poking me and now it is like there is nothing on my head.

Bob delivers extremely fast. Bought the hat via "the bay" on Sunday, hat was shipped on Monday and on my doorstep Thursday morning. Great service. Great hat.

Thanks for the offer Panamabob, but it is not necessary for you to ship a tip sticker. I don't mind to work on the hat myself, just did not want to do any damage by trimming the straw and causing something to come undone. Better to ask before jumping in and breaking something. One of those...

Thanks Aureliano. I will give that a shot. Definitely will keep my head from being stuck.

Newbie Queston Just got a panamabob e-bay hat on Thursday of last week. Seemed like a great start especially for the money. The question is, is it OK to cut/clip the sraw that is poking out of the weave as it pokes me in the head. I would try and grow more hair, but that just is not going to...

Thanks for the info 4spurs. Sounds like it was a good investment for you. Making me think about checking these out too! I don't think one can really have too many hats can they?

I am in Northwest AR. Glad to meet up with a fellow Arkansawyer.

I had purchased a felt fedora last fall from Hats in the Belfry for a costume party to complete a gangster costume. Wanted an OK hat and not something crazy expensive. Living where I live, there are not a lot of options other than buying online. This hat has led to an interest in hats. For...

Thanks everyone for the quick responses. Most replies came to the conclusion that I had reached before my post which was Panama Bob is probably the best way to go. Everything I read says that he runs a top notch operation. I may give panamahatshop.com a shot just to see what it ends up...

Bump First post here on the lounge. First off, great site. I absolutely love it! Well, I have searched and searched (Google Advanced search) the lounge and have not found any reference to the following site: http://www.panamahatshop.com/ Has anyone dealt with them? Good? Bad...
