Thanks Ken! What fur/straw/color combo did you go with for the Half-Breed? The only thing I would change on mine would be a semi-colado Panama crown ... and a bit more ovalized. Can't wait to see what you and Manny came up with!

Decided on a pecan felt with a coffee stained ventilated panama top. Will have a more teardrop crease. Here is a sample pic of a different Half-Breed with the ventilated panama top I'm getting, just mine will be a more coffee color and not the Gus crease. We will discuss hatbands and final creases later. There is also one he did for Ronald Reagan many years ago (rough pic). Just an FYI: Manny passed away many

years ago, his son in law has been running the shop ever since.

Absolutely gorgeous. I can’t understand why Winchester changes the color of black cherry. Art has a few glacier bodies left....

Today...in spite of the 91 deg temp and smothering humidity i couldn’t hold off with my recently acquired VS from a generous fellow lounger. Thank you @Ordinary Guy, Harry, for one very special hat. I know you’re missing it!!
I don’t have the superlatives to do justice to this hat. It’s just plain Art!! in black cherry!
Now i know what the big deal is.
Be well. Bowen

Love the old dye black cherry.

If I recall correctly, David Torres, who now runs Texas Hatters, is Manny Gammage’s son-in-law. He is the husband of Manny’s daughter, Joella.

Yes, that's correct.

Dang ... I knew that. I blame the lack of A/C in this heat wave.

Then again, who's to say that Manny's not involved somehow in the decision.

Looking forward to seeing the new hat Ken!

You always look sharp Tuk. Fantastic looking parabuntal straw.

Thank you. I was just thinking the same about you in your Texas Hatters straw. You really wear a hat well.

I finally got a chance to watch this, Jeff. Sounds great and the exposure must be great, as well. Good show.

Could be the best looking straw I've seen.

I only brought my Italian balibuntal to Spain. It is so light and tightly woven it flies off with the breeze.
