Baron Hats
Nice, but expensive I have a Cliffhanger from Baron's. I like the hat and wear it frequently, but I think there are better hats for the money out there. The crown is very stiff (Cowboy Hat-esque). For their 100% Beaver hats, the prices are around $100-200 more expensive... -
best place to get a panama under $100?
Not sure if it is a touchy subject at this point, but I would check with "Panama Bob," www.panamas.biz. I have purchased 4 hats from him, of varying qualities, and have been extremely satisfied with all of them. Do a site search for panamas and you will find several threads that basically... -
Gin Lovers Unite!
Interestingly, until Oscar signed and endorsement agreement with Bombay Sapphire (I believe it is around $150,00 a year, paid to the city) the only gin he would drink was Beefeaters. Cheers, RC- rcinlv

Who is your favorite artist?
Okay, not vintage. But... Based upon what I have collected, I would have to say George Rodrigue. Found his "Blue Dog" when I was living in New Orleans, but have since become a much bigger fan of his Cajun Landscapes... Although I can only afford litho's, I'm fortunate to own several...- rcinlv

Mallory "Dallas"
That was the hat that inspired me to post my Stetson 100. Yours is absolutely stunning. Cheers, RC -
The Brotherhood of the Thin Ribbon
JtL and JT: thanks for the kind words. It is indeed a lovely hat, nearly flawless and nearly unworn (I don't think that the previous owner wore it at all). Just one small moth nibble in the back (less than 1/16"). Bought it on the bay about a year ago, and given the economies of time, it was... -
The Brotherhood of the Thin Ribbon
As we approach the cooler weather of the fall I humbly submit my application for membership to the brotherhood. My Stetson 100. Got it down out of the closet this morning, cleaned and rebashed. Can't wait for the daytime temps to get below 100... Cheers, RC -
Panama Hat Thread
Almost embarassed to post this after the MC masterpiece However, I am extremely happy with this, my second panama from PB. This is a Bogie, blocked by Art. I'm way too lazy to actually count the weaves, but I estimate it to be in the neighborhood of 1000. Soft, lightweight, comfortable. I'm... -

Panama Hat Thread
My turn to jump in. I guess I'm like most members, much more comfortable lurking in the shadows. But here is my Panama- a Montecristi from PanamaBob, 700+ WPI. It is more than I could have asked for! This hat has served me well all summer, from the baking heat of Las Vegas to... -
Indiana Jones's Brazilian Connection: the Fedora

Best Indy Fedora
Indeed he did I was one of the few for whom Marc made the "Aviator" hat (see avatar, left). However, at this point I believe Steve is only making the Indy hats. Be advised there is around a 6-8 month wait if you are thinking of ordering one. RC -
What a deal
I noticed, so I ordered two: One, a birthday present for my Dad; and the other to calm my nerves as I wait for a "Bogie" allegedly being blocked by Art as we speak. I hope I get it soon, or who knows what else I'll buy. RC -

Panama Hat articles from the web
Vertical integration? The hatmaking industry in Ecuador seems to be (based upon what I've been able to read) a disjointed enterprise with families who collect the palm and turn it into straw, who in turn sell it to weavers, who then sell thier product to finishers, who then sell to brokers, who... -
What Were You Like As A Teen?
Whadda ya mean.... I'm still in my teens. Okay, I admit it. I was miserable, just like every other teen. Uncertain, insecure, quiet, questioning my very existence. If you say otherwise, you're just kidding yourself. Are fortys that much different from teens? Hmmm... RC- rcinlv
