    I got a response from Falcon Park Hats. Parker said he'll put an upgraded better quality leather headband in it and do his best with the felt marks and charge $100 which includes return to me shipping. I think it could be worth it so that's what I'm doing. Thanks for your advice.

    I fear I may have tried a brush on the crown and knocked a slight bit of it off. I tried to contact Falcon Park and they haven't responded yet.

    Purchased this Falcon Park, Weekender 100% beaver hat back in 2011. I learned that I had actually ordered it too small (my mistake with a measuring tape.) but I've been wearing it anyway. I am planning on trying to stretch it from approximately a 7 1/8 to a 7 1/4 so not much, with some steam and...

    Panama Hat Thread

    I'm right there with you Andy. I'm not sure I'll ever get my hands on a true super fino as I don't live anywhere near a place where I could look at them. I do know that I like my hat enough compared to any other panama style I have that I'd probably really like a true super fino. I'd also...

    Panama Hat Thread

    Alas... I find myself a victim of the dreaded website definition of a term. I still like the hat and didn't pay too much for it. Thanks for the help.

    Panama Hat Thread

    Ok, I tried to understand a thread on here about weave counting but I got thoroughly confused. This is supposed to be a monticristi super fino hat from Panama Hats Direct. I understand rating is not even across the board. Can someone tell me simply how to count these weaves? I would be...

    Panama Hat Thread

    I have found when I put my Panama on my hat rack that the rack pushes a slight bulg in the crown. I'm guessing due to its flexibility. Has anyone tried to put anything on the back inside of their hat similar to the crown protection found on the inside front part of some hats?

    It doesn't snap. I wrote them and asked for direction. I tried a steam iron and towel for protection, we'll see how long that stays.

    Thanks guys. I took a washcloth, dampened it with warm water, rung it out, held it on the front of brim, used a haur dryer on neutral and blew it a little. Worked for a while then returned to original position. ???

    Panama Hat Thread

    Well, it finally got here from Panama Hats Direct. Arrived packed safely. First impressions, it's very comfortable and sized just right. It looks well made, the only thing might be the inner lining seems a little cheap, not bad, just slightly cheap, but you get what you pay for and I didn't...

    Jerry at Bickmore looked at my pic and recommended thier distressed product. He's reaching out to Tony Lama and then sending me a bottle of that for free. Kudos to Bickmore Steve

    Bamaboots I would call them smooth, it does have some slight "texture"?

    Still asking questions about my new Tony Lana Kangaroo's. Picked up some Bickmore Exotic to clean and condition. It said it would not "darken" my boots. I applied a little to the heel to see if it was safe. Here's the result I see some darkening and am hesitant to do the whole boot as I...

    Thanks Aaron and Bamaboots, The end of this thread seems to have been burned already. I may wait just a bit to see if there are any other issues. Am I being too anal regarding a $700 boot?

    Well, my first issue showed up today with my Tony Lamas. Not sure if this is a problem or normal, but a thread seems to be coming loose on the toe . Is this a big deal or how should I try to fix it?
