Panama Hat Thread
I just got this hat today. It was bit mishappen from shipping but a light steaming put it back into place. The weave count is not as high as adverstised but that was expected. It was however around 1000 wpi. The back woven edge was done really well. Around 10 or 11 rings on the crown as...- fedoralover

Panama Hat Thread
I know, go figure. It will come out on this one right away. I am hoping it has the 1600 wpi as advertised. The best one I have now is around 800 and I think it's awesome. I will be surprised if it is though as I didn't think Panamahats direct even sold ones that high. If it's not and I...- fedoralover

Panama Hat Thread
Here's the ebay link. I hope the weave count is what the seller says it is. I emailed him and told him I wouldn't be happy if it wasn't. It was originally sold by Panama hats direct. I don't like the fact it has a liner. It will be pulled out and I will have it resized with a different...- fedoralover

I just picked up this Monti off the bay. I hope it is as good as the pics appear it to be. It comes in a box with extra pugs and it was free shipping. fedoralover- fedoralover

Northwest Hats, Eugene, Ore.
He sized it up one size. He's done it on several that I've seen. I had another monti that was only about 400 WPI and he sized it up several sizes with no problem. The pic I posted really doesn't do this hat justice. I wish I had gotten it at a different angle and different light. When I...- fedoralover

Looking for an everyday "Adventure" Straw
I've seen the sun bodies and agree. The only drawback is they are heavier. But if that doesn't bother you that would be the way to go. Mike at Northwest hats was selling them and he will shape it for you and put on a ribbon of your choice. I'm not sure what his price is but give him a call and...- fedoralover

Northwest Hats, Eugene, Ore.
I got this Monti on ebay last winter. It was too small and needed a new sweatband and ribbon. I had Mike clean it, put a new sweat in it and replace the ribbon. It has around 800 wpi. I really like it as it is older and has a nice patina on it. He was able to size it up to fit with no...- fedoralover

Art, I think it's amazing that you can actually make a Milan from scratch so to speak. I've seen some of the pics on your website and they just look fantastic. Do you have any pics or video's of you doing this? Or would you rather keep that as a trade secret? Which I would totally...- fedoralover

It's time for a gentlemen's agreement.
Talk about insane prices, look at this one. It looks like someone took a liner out of Stetson Playboy fedora and put it in this Drivers cap and then they cobbled up the sweatband with two different ones. But hey, that makes worth at least a grand doesn't it...- fedoralover

Trying different knots on Neckties.
That is actually one of the drawbacks to doing these knots. If you are in a hurry to go somewhere, you probably don't want to mess around trying to find the perfect tie for the right knot. But if you have the time to experiment it actually makes it a little more fun. People that know me and...- fedoralover

Show us your TIES
Okay I know this isn't vintage and it won't be everyone's cup of tea so to speak, but there are a few modern ties I like. Pancaldi makes some amazingly bright ones with awesome designs. I picked this one up a while back and I just thought I'd throw it in here for people to either like it or...- fedoralover

Trying different knots on Neckties.
Also, some knots just don't look good with some tie patterns. You have to pick which one to use with which tie. I'm getting a kick out of trying some of these. The first pic I posted is a Capsule knot. I've had lots of people ask, "how did you do that?, that's awesome!" fedoralover- fedoralover

Thanks, I just got it in the mail today. I had to count the wpi with a tooth pick. It came in around 800. I'm very pleased. I just dropped it off at Northwest Hats to have a new sweatband put in and have Mike clean it up. It needs to be stretched just a bit to fit better but it shouldn't be...- fedoralover

Trying different knots on Neckties.
A 3 tiered knot on a Zegna tie. These do take a little more time. But I have gotten lots of "I like that" comments from people. And yes I have gotten the "hmmm, not so sure" comments as well. But lets face it, most of us here dress for our own tastes not someone elses, so that really doesn't...- fedoralover
