Panama Hat Thread
I just a few minutes ago submerged the entire hat in a bath of hydrogen peroxide 3% and I plan to leave it soaking for 12-18 hours. If all goes well the hat overall will be clean again and the ink stains faded to a pale shade of sky blue. Then I need to have it reblocked and a new sweat/hat... -

Looking good Dguy! Admit it everyone...the BW shots are so much more interesting AND flattering IMHO. Shot a month ago, but apropos. -

I think the ink bath is too extreme since the only color that will truly mask the stains would be black or dark purple. If I thought brown would work I would do it in a heartbeat but I'm sure the stain would still show through that color. As I said above, sit tight and let's see what my... -

Looks like I started something! Like the BW choice Redwoodjedi...gives you a more interesting look over the previous color shots. -
What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Technically you are right! I intentionally blew out the background which I though was distracting, I thought the white glow behind you would convey the heat better and the lighter detail on your clothing less distracting from your overall look...but I'm just the unauthorized "biographer" It's... -

Nice look Mario! You should convert the photo to black and white. CORRECTION: Converted it for you, do you like it? -

You know ccajackson, that's not a bad idea. Here's my experience so far: Immediately after the ink splattered on the hat I rinsed it in cold water which took the pitch black stains down to a charcoal/blue color...but still very pronounced staining top and bottom. Next I soaked the forward... -

Thanks for the tips ccajackson, I'll try to find the Amodex, and I'll try the others as well but I think the hat is a lost cause. I like the simi-colado dwebber18, could have used one the last few days here in New York! Does anyone know where PB is? I emailed him, PM'ed him AND left him a... -

Yes it was from PB and he spent months tracking it down for me, it was truly a gift considering what I paid for it versus what similar hats regularly retail for. It was 625 wpi and had exceptionally consistant weaving. Art then blocked it and fabricated a gorgeous band in Burgundy from vintage... -

R.I.P!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well guys...it was bound to happen. There is a cosmic force that dictates that when a guy shows off something dear...it's inevitably going to be marked for ruin. Last night while refilling my Mont Blanc fountain pen(something I do regularly and with aplomb) my hand swiped... -

First pair of quality shoes?
I've built a great wardrobe of the following shoes, all purchased on ebay at between 5-20% of their original retail price. Don't be afraid to buy used, I like getting shoes broken in: Bally - easily the softest leather of the shoes I've won, traditional styles Santoni - more modern and more...- WineGuy

What do you use to shave?
I just took up straight razor shaving about a month a go. Kind of happened by chance when I purchased the Wosty below at a flea market in Manhattan. That led me to buying an Omega Silver tip brush, Institute Karite shaving soap, and a Tony Miller Latigo/canvas strop. Last week I snagged the...- WineGuy

Great hat diazawaguy! Do you have any detail photos of it you could post, I've been toying with the idea of getting a semi-colado from PB and want to start seeing the range. -
Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
I'd call it "Pinot Noir with a drop of Cabernet"! What color band are you going for..or did you leave it up to Art? -
Panama Hat Thread
If you paid more than $100 for it and you've never re-blocked a straw hat before, I urge you to send it to Art Fawcett or any of the other professional milliners on the forum.
