No worries. Like I said, it's hard to tell without tone and body language. I wish someone would give me a good scolding, I need to quit wasting time here and get some stuff done!

My apologies. I'll try to search more before I start a new thread. I read a few of the older threads and I'm sold on Bob from reading people's comments! I just wanted to hear why one over the other and give Bob a chance to extol the virtues of his products and service. I'm sorry if that's...

Thanks, I just sent you an email. I sent it to panamaecuador@yahoo.com, I am jcwellma@purdue.edu. [devil's advocate]So why should I buy from you instead of panama-hats-direct?[/devil's advocate] Thanks! :D

So I dropped a bill on these Rockports from zappos.com: I got them yesterday and they're some really nice shoes. They seem to be very good quality despite being china-made. They feel great, the look is pretty much what I was going for (30s-40s), but they're about a size too big so back...

Here's an observation: In that era more people were from a rural/farming background on top of everyone being broke. People didn't want to go out in public looking like an overalled hick, which would have been very easy. Perhaps they needed prove that some decent clothes were atleast within...

Summer is coming - how about another panama hat thread??? I've been in the drawing for a free panama hat from panama hats direct for a year now. I think it's obvious my name will only get drawn after I buy one. :D Is panama-hats-direct still a good place to deal with? I think I'll get...

Dang this thread looks broken. Well if this post gets washed up on a beach somewhere be it known that fedora lounger's made a great reccomendation. My Jaxon Bogart is probably the best article of clothing I own. It looks great, like a real hat and not just a fad, fits great, and it's nice for...

Dang, I just found this thread, did I miss the train?

I went back to get it the other day and on closer inspection, words such as 'polyester' and 'china' stood out. I also noticed flecks of orange, pink, and all kinds of crazy stuff in the weave. It was actually a lighter puke green than the dark olive I remembered it as. Oh well, I'm slowly...

Check out the 'important hat threads' sticky at the top of the hat forum page. There's a link at the bottom on how to make the bow style ribbon.

Yeah I don't know what to do about the huge gap at the top. A stapler crossed my mind.

I tried my hand at ribbon replacement. It's...uh...sufficient.

A local vintage clothing store has a dark olive double breasted jacket that actually fits me. It's modern and I think 60% acrylic and about $8. I'd like to get it but I can't match clothes for crap so I don't know if any slacks would go with it. So what color slacks if any would go with a...

I finally broke down and got a dark colored one at target. Should make a good beater hat, but the ribbon is fugly.

Anyone buy one from here http://stores.ebay.com/Panama-Hats-Direct ? Seems like a good deal, but what do I know?
