    Help with {date or identify} a hat please.....!

    Panama hat questions?

    It was around 80€. it's a mid quality regular toquilla hat It's like there is a noise when I press the brim downward for instance, as if the straw was a bit dry. A bit like when you sit o sorrel chair (well obviously less creaky than that)

    Panama hat questions?

    Hat creaking : what can I do ? I got this brand new Panama hat. I received it yesterday. However, it seems to be "creaking" a lot. I steamed it gently and spray water on it. It is a bit better but the straw does not seem as flexible as on my other Panama hats which are astonishingly silent Is...

    Hat(s?) : exclusivity vs diversity

    Thanks for your replies ! I knew that was lots of people who like diversity ! I have never come to the point where I like several two hats equally. For me when you reach the top, it's hard putting a hat on to match my daily style when you know there is another one at home that you truly prefer...
