    Is it safe to wear my hat in the rain? Is it up quality/waterproofness?

    I can't speak for London but here in NYC I find that the combination of a good hat and a goretex jacket beats an umbrella any day of the week, year-round. The garbage cans are full of broken, inside-out umbrella husks.

    I've got the straw today in Manhattan, but since we may be in the 50s by Friday the felt will come out.

    How to travel with hats

    I fly to Switzerland this may and took my Selentino fedora with me. I wore it on the plane mostly whilst napping or eating and had it on the tray table at other times. I'm 6' and had no real issues with the head rest, fwiw.

    I'll take a look for it, thanks! The Bonny Doon vin de glaciere used to be a pretty tasty, reasonably priced sauterne style wine. I've developed an affection for Tokajii Aszu wines from Hungary.

    "You'd better like a lot of butter and wine and garlic" That reminds me of an interview I heard on the radio of Julia Child many years ago. She was asked what she thought of the trend towards using less butter and cream in cooking. She responded "oh, it's nutrition rearing its ugly head!" :D

    tony, if you like the peaty yumness of Laphroaig then give Lagavulin. Lagavulin is slightly less peaty but fuller.

    New Panama help needed.

    For me she will always get flak for that "I smell something awful" look she always seems to have on her face. Smile, darn 'ya!

    Oh, and they are very good on the selling, too. Here, try on this Stetson or Selentino. Now try on this Borsalino...man, the difference is just insane.
