Interesting Panama hat in dark brown!

[HatDoc]

For a dark brown you can't go wrong with either one of these

Lancealot,

Are both of those PB hats the same model, or are they 2 different styles? They look great.

This is what got me started thinking about a new ribbon for my brown Panama Hat.


Then I came up with this. This is my first attempt at putting a new ribbon on any hat. I still need a lot more practice.

Wow.....nice job. Is there a thread somewhere that would help me learn how to replace ribbons?

Also....where did you buy your ribbon?

Thanks,

Randy

Oh....one more thing:

Where do you get the little hat stands? I'd like to get some to photograph my lids.

Last question: Is that a PB panama hat? If so, which model? If not, what is it? Looks GREAT !!!!

Thanks,

Randy

The only difference is the bash one is a center dent the other is a tear drop.

Did you get them from Panama Bob?

I own the tear drop but not he center dent. This picture came from Panama Bob, he was kind enough to send it to me when I was trying to decide which one I wanted.

Randy, yes there is a thread that will tell you the basics of making a hat ribbon and it is located in the "Links to Important Hat Forum Threads". The title of the thread is "How to Replace a Ribbon" this is where I started and it has good information. About the ribbon I just went down to my local fabric store and looked at their selection of grosgrain ribbons. Also don't forget to buy matching thread and pick up some good needles.

Yes, this is one of Panama Bobs Panama Hats I picked this one up on Ebay. This hat originally comes with a black ribbon what you see in the picture is what I replaced it with. Panama Bob just calls this his Indiana Panama Hat I also reworked the crown and gave it a tighter pinch in the front.

I picked up the hat stand from Village Hat Shop in San Diego, CA. They have a web site villagehatshop.com but they don't advertise the hat stands on their site. I am sure if you gave them a call that they could ship them out to you.

Hats are like potato chips you just can't have one.

Randy I am sure if you e-mail Panama Bob and asked about your size I am sure that would speed things up a bit. You can't go wrong with any of the hats from Panama Bob. I have three more of PB hats besides this brown one and Art has my Montichritsti Panama Hat for blocking.
