    AUCTION #175: Lee - Trinity - Blue Label - Size 7 1/2 - C0000228989

    Showing my ignorance. What does "NOS" mean? 23 1/2 is too big for me.

    Post New Hats Here!

    Stetson Retro Panama Got home from the office early and found a nice suprise on the doorstep: the Stetson Retro Panama I ordered from Delmonico Hatters last Friday. It's presently 75 degrees in Nashville, so I wore it out on some quick errands. It's just about straw hat time in...

    Ditto. I've read not to steam Panamas.

    Snapping a Straw Brim

    Brim isn't snapping down low enough. Of course, it was turned up in the box. I've snapped it, but I'd like to bring the front down lower.

    Snapping a Straw Brim

    Just got a new Stetson Retro Panama and I want to put a little more snap in the front of the brim. What's the best way to do that with straw? I'll post some pics in the new hat thread when I have it the way that I want it.

    What does your hat color say? What does it go with?

    I've completely gotten off black. It looks too formal with just about anything. I've replaced all my blacks with grays. Gray is much more versatile.

    Too soon for straw?

    If the weather is warm enough, go for it . . . Although, the owner of a vintage clothing store in Nashville told me today that she would not put her straw hats on display until Easter. I was obviously willing to buy today if she would let me see them, but she refused. Can you belive that?

    Does anyone wear their hats tipped back?

    "Level, tipped forward, tipped back, at an angle kind of jaunty-like?" All of the above. I read someone, I believe it was Frank Sinatra, who said that the angle of your hat should indicate your mood. If you want to be intimidating or off-putting. Pull it over your eyes. If you're all...

    Summer Hat Suggestions?

    Your photo of your pearl made me want one. I wanted a light gray anyway, but your pic looked great. The gray looked a little dark to me. The customer service rep I spoke to also said it's dark. Previous discussion on this thread notwithstanding, I'm not sure I want a darker hat during a...

    johnnyphi's remaining hat

    Wow, some great hats remaining. The Photobucket site had about seven listed as unsold. Has it been updated recently?

    My Stylemasters finally arrived

    Wholehearted agreement from me. FL has far better info on Akubras than the company offers. I don't think they've learned the art of photography yet. The colors are off. They take pics at funky angles, so you don't get a good view of the hat . . . But, hey, they do the hats right. I'd rather...

    Fed IV v. Fed IV Deluxe

    No what you mean. Mine hits the post office on Monday. My Stylemaster is a great hat, so I'm expecting the Fed IV to be truly awesome.
