Gorgeous!! Congratulations!! :eusa_clap

Not a hat victory, but a huge victory for me!! I picked this gem off ebay last night for $79 + shipping!! It's a #22 hat block & #1085 brim flange :) WAY cheaper than single blocks or flanges I see on there. God blessed me with a great deal. Best of all = my hat size...

Absolutely stunning hat! I love the color combination!!

I have never had a roan band before so I can't say on that. I will however say I own several panama hats; some with cloth and some with leather. I much prefer the leather as it seems to hold better to my head when a big gust of wind comes by! Just my 2 cents though.

Absolutely stunning hat David! You're wife is a lucky lady!!

Absolutely gorgeous!!

@in/y, That looks like a very close match. Thanks! @Tomasso, You're right, and that's probably why I haven't been able to find it. I'll contact the costumer. I wanted to know for several reasons. One being I like it and the style ( where the top part is thicker instead of a skinny tie ) and...

Hey everyone, I have searched and can't find this tie and it is driving me crazy! I was hoping you fine people could help? I am wanting to know the manufacture of this tie. It is from the show "Suits". Thanks! Vinny

Just wanted to recap: Shortly after I got off work Saturday my cousin and I set out on our adventure to PanamaBob. An estimated 2 and a half hour drive up there. We decided to take his 73 mach1 for a road trip ( which made the long drive seem much shorter - and fun! ). Apart from some...
