Panamas

[Caledonia]

Hey! I'm back. Just a little pit stop guys. So where were we. Ah, SharpeToys is looking pretty cool for the temperature, and Magus has just found his panama. So who's getting in the martinis?

 

[jake_fink]

Love women in hats!!
Here is one of mine.

Yikes! Your woman in a hat looks like a dude, dude.

 

[Caledonia]

Oh for goodness sake I give up!!! You've just got a reenactment of Caledonia trying to edit a message and posting both versions! It wouldn't delete and I would really rather be saying !**@%!!!!!

Anyway, you get the gist. Now I am definitely going to the Powder Room in a great big girly huff lol

 

["Doc" Devereux]

But you'll miss the martinis!

 

[riccardo]

Pardon my forewardness, but with a friend whose family makes Panama Hats, why buy a paper hat?

...mistery....lol

With all this interest I am now definitely sure it's not going to be a good hat But when it arrives I shall brave the storm!

 

[Panamabob]

It could very well be an incredible hat. I hope it is. Where'd you buy it?

 

[Jake Sullivan]

Panama is excellent in any attire and flattering to any lady. Wear it in good health. Jake

 

[Prairie Shade]

Johnny Walker Blue - Wear That in Good Health!!

How about a shot of the hat beside a bottle of Johnny Walker Blue, we'll decide which is the best. Maybe both!!!!

Dames in guy hats are hot.

I just got my first Panamas today at Byrnie Utz, in Seattle. Pictures tomorrow when I go out cigardening.

This hat had apparently been sitting on the bottom shelf at the shop since the 70's.

 

[RedPop4]

Very nice, Hiram.
What did you enjoy when you were cigardening? What's your yard 'gar?fftopic:

Today's was just a Nat Cicco double corona second. Good for chomping on while whacking blackberry bushes and wielding the hedge trimmer. I have CAO MX2s, Cohiba habanos, Ghurkas, Hoyo de Montereys and a variety of Thompson specials in the humidor.

 

[RedPop4]

Nice variety. I had a very good Mx2 a couple weeks ago.

There's a little town in Mexico, I think, called BACALL and they are famous for their woven hats. They have to weave them in caves so the straw does not dry out and so stays bendable. The grades for the hats are based on the fineness of the weave. Some of the best hats have a weave that is so tight it looks almost like silk! I have one of these hats my brother brought back for me and it is quite beautiful.

 

[Visigoth]

Interesting... you sure it's called 'Bacall'? All I get on google is the actress. I'll go check this place out, if it's anywhere near me.

 

[Visigoth]

Aha! Bécal it is...
