    Panama Hat Thread

    Yes, the ticket was tucked behind the sweatband. Thank you... I’ve been lucky to have a small head and some good hunting over the years. Glad you enjoy seeing them.

    Great Rogers Peet Borso, Stefan... I loved shopping there with my Dad.

    I'll have a limited wardrobe for the next four weeks as we hang out in Santa Barbara waiting to meet our first grandchild. He's due to arrive mid-month. Brought a couple of Lo Bues, a beret, my trusty Stetson Balibuntal and my beautiful partner of 48 years. Hope you are well and staying out of...

    Turquoise/Native American jewelry

    That's a handsome piece with the traditional ear loop jacla incorporated into the design (rather than tied on). Nice find!

    Turquoise/Native American jewelry

    I purchased a few older rings recently, set with nice rustic green Cerrilos turquoise. The large ring is the second piece I’ve acquired made by Sam Roanhorse, younger brother of Ambrose Roanhorse. Sam was born in 1916 and worked in several notable shops including the White Hogan.

    The Noble Schoble

    Lots of good information can be found on the Hatters Union labels. My observation from the little photo glimpse of the label in Max’s new hat is that it is the post 1934 variety. Having the hat in hand will tell more.

    This is the everyday hat I reach for in summer... light, comfortable, durable - a parabuntal straw that has been treated in some way to be weather resistant. 1950s I would guess.

    French Hats and makers.

    Thank for your comments. The construction of the hat shows a bit more in the photos below. The cork is very supple - not crumbly at all, though a few chips have accumulated through the years. The only mark that I can find behind the sweatband is this, which I assume is a size.

    The Noble Schoble

    As noted on Facebook, the union label is not indicative of a 1916 manufacture date. The photo below is from my hat which is perhaps 1950.

    These are the circular rings seen from inside the crown. They are another way to appreciate the fineness of weave in a montecristi hat.

    Panama Hat Thread

    Relying on the count of montecristi weaves as the standard of quality is a bit like judging a violin by its strings. Each hand woven Panama goes through a lot of fine tuning to play its music... the weaver's skill harmonizing with a hatter's blocking. A lot of opportunities for wrong notes. A...

    Stetson Sweat Stamps/ LOT XXXX

    Fantastic additions... thanks for posting them. A note to remember - an NRA label was found in Ross' wonderful 5X CB placing it 1933-35.
