    I suppose it depends on the type of weather you would wear your straw in. A former border of mine worked for John Deere, and he wore an Amish straw hat while out on the mower -- our climate is very hot and dry. Also, I used to go to the lake all the time, and I wouldn't recommend a straw hat...

    Thanks! Pretty old - 1940's. The flange is very shallow (me likey) and it was thoroughly moth-riddled on the under-brim and crown so I had to re-pounce it. The brim definitely snaps down but brim-up with this lid just feels right, for some reason =)

    I have shelf in the closet, a suit valet, and then some large plastic tubs that are stacked in the office.

    I'm the same. The ones I don't wear as much are the ones I've personally made when I wasn't as proficient at the craft.

    No worries -- if you can sew a sweat, the ribbon should be a piece of cake =)

    A wise priest once said that all clergymen must maintain at least one vice... to be more in touch with the average sinner, of course =)

    Also, I highly recommend @bond 's sweat bands. I've bought several from him -- in fact, one is in the mail as we speak. He has an Etsy shop named FineVintageFedoras. The leather is very nice. And he'll customize the size for you.

    I've sewn about a dozen-plus sweats and I really don't like the awl approach (I'm not a fan of the inconsistent tension that tends to occur from stitch to stitch). A four dollar set of millinery needles and some good sewing thread is all you really need. I use a double back-stitch and it works...

    You ever watch American Pickers where the guys negotiate with a hoarder for minutes out of an episode (over a piece the guy forgot he even had) just for the owner to shrug off the money and say he isn't selling?
