    Thanks everyone. I'm gonna think about it for a short while. I committed one new hat to it last night. If it's successful, I'll try it on the Stetson. If not—I'll send it back.

    What is your favorite aircraft of all time?

    Indeed. The "F" variant is probably my favorite—very clean—before they started getting lumpy with all the add-ons.

    So... reckon I should be sending this one back to get a better fit? Otherwise I'd have to use spacers and that doesn't appeal to me at all.

    Wet the sweatband and place in a heated environment. Worked well on the Akubra. But, the Stetson isn't quite the same.

    Back with a familiar question: Can a new Stetson be shrunk in the same manner as an Akubra?

    Love the top of that hat! It's very close to my ideal crown. The weave on that is real nice as well. Nice all-around. I like it. Digg'in all of the straws. Don't think I've seen one I didn't like that had a bit of brim on it. Thanks, RJR. Just trying my hand at this. I do like an 8-panel with...

    Sure would like to see a photo of it if it's possible, or you're inclined. Perhaps in the Panama thread?

    A great weekend of hats everyone. The best part of my morning commute is checking what you folks have been wearing. Very inspiring. Yesterday was spent running about in this comfy linen Capa newsboy. Still getting used to this "selfie" business. Urgh. This morning it's back to 'ol faithful.

    Bob, it's what the perceived value is. Mostly, it's about who the artist is. A Banksy, stenciled, piece of art can go for five figures. Why? Because it's Banksy. He doesn't do a thing for me, but a piece of his art is a grail for some folks, I don't know why—it's all about what you want it...

    I have no reason to doubt Brent Black's claims. I'm also sure that he speaks only for himself. That he has ferreted out the best weavers and has them sell their best product to him makes perfect sense, as he will pay them a fair price (perhaps more than fair) to keep them weaving and earn a good...

    Trevi, how you come up with these killer straws and most particularly, the milans, blows me away. I'd love to see your Summer collection. Oh, I agree entirely with Bob, Your Pop looks great for a man of any age. Easy to see where you came from—you're a fortunate man. Bob R., I ordered a Bishop...

    Thanks for the encouragement. Great lids everyone. I like all of the choices for the past couple of days. The straws get me going. 'Ol faithful today. An inexpensive Cuenca. One of my first purchases.

    ^^ Had the same thing happen to me recently. I was alarmed at how much larger it was. The good folks here told me to wet the sweatband with distilled water and stow it someplace warm, which I did (in my hot attic). Fits nicely now.

    Hm. Our tastes run along the same frequency. I've got to figure this hat thing out. I don't know what's right for me—but I know right when I see it on you ladies and gents. Great looking folks/hats one and all. Unique boater, Alan. I like it a lot. I'm partial to that style of hat. Wish...

    Real nice job on that, rogerstg. Looks great after you had at it. I just got a bit of a lesson myself.
