Just had an email exchange with Robert: that's the route I'll be taking. He was super fast in his reply, hitting the nail right square on the head. You can't beat that attitude. Thanks for the replies to my OP everyone. Robert says he can have the hat out by the weekend, so hopefully I can post...
I'll be taking a road trip in about three weeks and I need a hat ( yes, I said NEED, not want...). I'd like it in my dirty paws by the first week of June, so I need something that a shop would have in stock.
Specifically, I'm looking for:
Panama
Optimo/Colonial crown
2 1/2" brim or less...
Here you go, Gene...
Some dirty phone pics of my jacket. I suppose I'll have to wear it today, since this is the "What Are You Wearing?" thread [huh] . Got my old BR fur felt safari hat in the pic for fun - it's a really good hat...

Nice post, IC :eusa_clap .
San Antonio Police Department wears the saucer caps: blue for patrol and white for traffic ( often without the halo, giving the "crush cap" effect ). Officially, I think the county is still wearing Stetsons or Resistols or whatever with a cattleman's crease. You...
Brendon: Cool lapel pin! Always a fan of that particular littile touch. I have some little bagpipes on my lapel in this pic taken at a Christmas party last night:
heh heh... uhhhh, wow!
I can't decide which is ultimately more disturbing: that these pictures exist, or that you took the time to assemble and post them. lol
Duck: I was painting with broad strokes. The "metro" comparison is pointed at the folks who are ritualistic about their get-ups, not western wear in general. That goes for any style of dress. I maybe shoulda said...foppish? But that brings to mind dandy clothes [huh] . In any event...contrived...
Easy, Edward ;) . The cultural significance is still very divisive here is the States, particularly between the Southern born and bred and the ( less informed ;) ) rest of the country.
That said ( cautiously stepping back into full view ), I've recently likened the Western get up to, for...
