Milan Mania
No, Cookie, it is brand new. J.T. tells me the label, Leone Capelli (made for Levine Hat Company located in St Louis) is possibly made by HATCO. Levine's told me it's imported. Regards, Mark- NewMexExpat

Post New Hats Here!
Leone Capelli Milan from Levine After much hesitation, I bought this back in May to have something a bit dressier for my son's wedding in June. A Milan by Leone Capelli, from Levine Hat Company in St. Louis. I'm very, very happy with it. I think it worked very well for the wedding (candid...- NewMexExpat

Milan Mania
Finally posting Leone Capelli Milan I finally decided to go ahead an buy this back in May. I'm very, very happy with it. I think it worked very well for the wedding (candid photo below), and I'm amazed that it leaves my head feeling cooler than any of my other hats, including a Montecristi...- NewMexExpat

Milan Mania
Mugwumping as usual Thanks, J. T. That helps a little, I guess. I'm looking at something a little out of character for me. I'm thinking I'd like something a little more formal than my Lagomarsino fedora, Open Road, or Ecuador-blocked PHM Panama for my son's wedding in Arkansas this June...- NewMexExpat

Milan Mania
Leone Cappelli Anyone know anything about this brand? Levine Hat Company in St. Louis sells Milanos with this label, as their own. Levine doesn't manufacture or even block hats anymore, though. Might these be made by Biltmore? If any of you have experience with or own one, please post...- NewMexExpat

Panama Hat Thread
More "Inspired by"... but probably not a Stickley COPY, in the strict sense. I've always loved Mission furniture, and my wonderful wife bought this as a 25th Anniversary/Retirement/Master's Degree present. It is from Bassett Furniture, I believe; and their brand, I think. It's very...- NewMexExpat

Panama Hat Thread
3 Cuenca from PB For two years I have really enjoyed my Montecristi from panamabob. But because of my haste in purchasing, I've always wanted a taller, more "American" c-crown/teardrop shape. I'd also decided I needed a looser weave for more airflow and less heat. Robert helped me decide...- NewMexExpat

Akubra Riverina safari-ized
Cool Pictures! Nice Pics, Jack. I especially like this one with the silhouette: My Dad worked as a surveyor in southern New Mexico for 20 years, and had quite a collection of arrowheads. Your pictures make me think of home. Regards, - Mark- NewMexExpat

Hats and Smiles...
Hello Folks, Haven't been around much lately, but I thought of the good people here when I saw this photo in one of today's local newspapers: How 'bout those happy faces? Like Steve Martin said about banjos: Look how many problems we could solve if we just gave everybody a hat. (I...- NewMexExpat

What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Quoted from one of my favorites... :offtopic: indycop, that is a quote from the wonderful John Wayne - Maureen O'Hara film, "McClintock" (but I think the picture is from a later film?) He, of course, follows the line with a punch in the mouth which precipitates the great mudslide brawl...- NewMexExpat

Straw...top hat?
Fogg? Doesn't David Niven wear one of these in "Around the World in 80 Days"? The train scene in India, where he is searching for Paspartu because the train is about to leave; just before they rescue the Indian widow. Couldn't find a screen cap, and don't have the movie or wherewithal to...- NewMexExpat
