Chinese hats
What is the deal with these hats? Is there no market no matter how niche it might be that the Chinese aren't trying to corner? I hadn't seen these hats before now. I knew that there were cheap Chinese hats on the market, but was not sure what they were like. -

ID type of blocking on a panama
I was wondering if anyone can tell what type of blocking this is? I can't seem to find any block types that describe it. It is not entirely an optimo, but it does look similar. Thanks. -

Newbie - Hatbox Modifications
Hello, I'm new to the list, but I've been looking around for quite sometime. I wanted to share some photos of modifications that I made to a hatbox. My wife and I travel a lot and I have found carrying hats a little cumbersome. So as an avid backpacker and someone who likes to ride his...
