Hello all... Don't know much about this modest little Panama, other than when it was sold.

A subtle beauty Alan.
Great ventilation, Joe. Love the wide ribbon and bow.
Cool looking Milan, Rick. What a super ribbon and bow! Love that t-shirt, too

The first to arrive of my recent postings in the “waiting for” thread.
This was a sample for 2017 Kentucky Derby hats by Biltmore, but is exactly the same as their Guelph hat mentioned in their 100 year anniversary catalogue. As I mentioned in the other thread, this is the third I have of that series.
Fitted size (7 1/4) and leather sweatband

The eyes kept following me around the room (shudder).

I picked my Akubra Carbon Grey Stylemaster for walking our dog earlier. As with all of my Akubra’s, It is a great hat and color.
Have a safe and blessed day.

Latest Arrival Penney’s Marathon
Penney’s Marathon
Medium Charcoal Grey
4 3/4 Crown as shaped
1 1/8 matching grosgrain ribbon
2 1/4 brim with 1/8 matching binding
Came across this cool Penney’s Marathon at a super low Buy It Now price that I could not pass up. The photos showed it would need some reshaping… and on top of that it arrived in a box about half the size of the hat. So a serious steaming and brushing was in order. I think it came out quite well. While brushing, I was able to minimize a few discoloration spots that actually hide themselves fairly well. There are a few moth nips here and there.. but nothing too bad.
I really like the color of the felt.. a medium charcoal grey. The tones somehow shift from blue to yellow depending light. I love the styling with the signature Marathon ribbon work.
It was sold as a size 7 though from the pictures the size tag appeared to also have a fraction after the 7 that I could not make out. Turns out the size is 7 1/4. Somehow however… due to I’m guessing a little bit of shrinkage it actually fits fairly well. Just seats a tad lower than I regularly wear my hats. Would not want to wear it on a windy day.. but still comfortable.
I have almost another probably early 1950s Marathon with this styling in tan that I really enjoy. This one… Considering the logo and sweat I’m gonna guess a bit later… maybe late 50s early 60s. I figured due to the size.. I might move this one along.. but being that it’s fitting fairly well.. I may keep it around for a little while anyway.
