No rush on my end, Robert. I'm sure you will do an excellent job, as usual.

Do you think a different straw will work better for your next attempt?

The raffia hat is progressing, slowly. It is a different animal again from the Panama straws.....even more of a mind of its own. Slowly, slowly, slowly.

This is the very first (maybe last!!) raffia straw I have worked with. It is different again from Panama straws. It is a very loose weave and it resists holding the shape. I may try just a touch of stiffener to get it to behave.

Hello Gents - I’ve recently found an older Royal Deluxe Stetson. No model name on the sweat band. It has a keyhole size tag with Stetson 7 1/8 inscribed. Cattleman crown, large grosgrain ribbon and bound edge brim. In the style of a western fedora? Any chance you experts would be able to give a date range or potential model types?
