Panama Hat Thread
Interesting. I appreciate the insights! I cannot tell you how helpful it is to know the technical term “flanging.” Discovering specialized terminology is tough when resources rely on already knowing the right keywords. None of the hatters I’ve spoken to about it - Tom at Lock & Co., Bates... -

Panama Hat Thread
I haven’t quite received the flood of information I was hoping for, lol. I suspect I created a TL;DR situation. I gotta learn to write shorter posts! -

I need to get a Panama resized, possibly reblocked. The only shop I know that has exactly the block I need is in the UK, and I’d really like to find one in the US so I don’t have to send it quite so far! Can anyone recommend a hatter? -

Panama Hat Thread
Yeah, I was just reading it. I think mine may have been his final custom hat before leaving. He told me a little about all that when we were discussing the job. He’s a very open guy, is Casey. -

Panama Hat Thread
Glad to find a dedicated Panamas thread! I have some mysteries I’m trying to solve; perhaps someone will have the answers… I’ve been trying for years to replace a hat I got in the UK in the 80s. It wore out long ago, but I have plenty of photos of another hat from the same hatter/block. It’s... -

Indeed. I still haven’t heard back… I’ll keep trying, but I don’t want to make a pest of myself. -

I thought so! I found a post from them from the summer announcing their re-opening, but it was all I could think of. They’re updating social media, and I can see they’ve read my Facebook messages, but… total silence. I don’t know if they’re just hugely busy, or if they prioritize in-store... -

I appear to have missed something.
And I genuinely apologize if I'm breaching protocol in some way, but I've just now received an email about The Powder Room becoming female-only, and since I've had such a thing delivered to my inbox and been exposed to such an idea I feel I'm now entitled to add my thoughts, speaking as someone...- Prydonian

Cleaning my hat... a slightly odd question.
Hello, gents! I'm really sorry to have posted this thread and disappeared... for some reason, I wasn't getting notifications that there had been any replies, so for quite a while I just didn't think anyone had answered. The two pages come as something of a shock! Thanks for the welcome... -

Cleaning my hat... a slightly odd question.
Hello, all! I find my fedora in need of cleaning in a very specific way, and I have no idea how to go about it. I ask you to bear with me, because, frankly, it's a little indelicate. I keep my beloved Akubra Fed IV on my hatstand near the front door. I also live in the suburbs. About...
