That is a hell of great looking hat. I like the blue ribbon, and the block is great. Very Classy. And you really do look like Robert Duval's consigliere.

character.

Finos

Thats a good point you make Scotrace about too fine Finos.

I have one and after a rainstorm the whole thing collapsed and will have to be reblocked. As well they don't hold up to even a strong breeze on the beach and I ended up going back to a run of the mill Hawaiian Hat Panama for AUD120 that works a treat.

Please look into your heart..,

scotrace,

Whatever i did please look into your heart and don't let my hat blow into

the wind.

GREAT...Great Hat!!!

Looking good Scot. Looks like you have a little reverce taper going on there!:eusa_clap
What about the brim, is it turned down all the way around? It kinda looks that way from the photo. I have the brim on my soft white panama from Miller Brothers turned down that way. It just seems to look better, to me, that way.

It is a Panama Bob body. Best available for a sane price.

Nice

Very nice. Hope the sun shines soon.

You seem to have the same problem with the hat as I have with a panama, too, namely that the opening for the head isn't oval enough, and so the brim gets wavy.

If I may ask, did the blocker try to put that in order, or did you just not mind, or even like it that way?

scotrace · Apr 12, 2007

This Panama is made to precisely my own head shape after being fitted with a conformer gadget.

Art did everything possible to stretch this hat out to its maximum oval, using the longest oval flange available. As I have learned from numerous hats that didn't work, my head is very hard to fit right.
The only solution is for Art to make up a custom flange just for me - and we'll probably get that done at some point. Or perhaps go a size up, no matter what the tape and conformer say.
I leave all such decisions in Art's capable hands.

Hemingway Jones · Apr 12, 2007

The wavy brim is an element of style. Ones unique head shape is reflected in a brim. It looks dashing, a bit mysterious, and certainly classic.

You said it HJ, along with a hand bash on a felt hat, it gives it that certain something that makes the hat your own!
