The Panama I ordered is the 63 USD variety. Would love to be able to compare with the more costly unit, maybe later in the spring [huh]
Speedbird?
I have no idea about trimming that brim, none at all.
The brim is 2 7/8 and it feels surprisingly good on the head. After a minute or two you really could forget you have it on and, as I said, I got it snug[huh]
Received that Panama
Today I got that Panama Extra Fino I ordered from Berkeley Hats on about March 15th. It's my first Panama so I don't know much but it seems fine to me and there are no glaring faults that I can find. All in all I am very happy with it and just hope the weather gets here soon:D
New Arrival
Just arrived from Berkeley Hats, Panama Extra Fino no sweatband and the 7 1/8 is exactly right on which makes it perfectly snug for the common winds here. Of course there is a little snow in the air and the sun has gone into hiding on the day my very first Panama arrives lol
As I posted I received the Knox Fifth Avenue Special last week and the whole thing was... I believe the technical term used elsewhere in the lounge was... "catawumpas"entirely out of skew, offcenter and the crown much higher on one side than the other. I had put it onto a heated stretching block...
post script
I really have to buy some new clothes I guess :(
I have put a lot of weight on this past couple of years and have no dress clothes that fit :eusa_doh: but I have been refusing to buy thinking I'll lose. Seems I am going to have to buy at least some interim fat clothes :(
