First off - This thread should NEVER get to the second page, folks!
Second - Pre-1934 Mallory panama "optimo" in time for winter :eeek: That's right! :whip:
The prices in my size range are really sky-rocketing

A fantastic hat and I'm sure worth every penny
Looks to be six rows, though they aren't evenly spaced. Alan has a similar Stetson but with different proportions and his has 3 well spaced rows of decorative stitch.
Depends on the block you want - Art has the most wonderful vintage "Optimo" block with that beautiful sharp crease line. The one that Optimo hat co uses is more of a thick bump and never really looked like a vintage "optimo" blocked panama should [huh]
