Straw Hat Day 2010: What hat are you wearing?
Di is wearing a fabric hat that could pass for straw to the uninitiated. This evening I'm wearing a vintage Stetson Panama. Earlier I wore a Panama Bob for yard work. Bravo to Lefty and the Mrs.! :eusa_clap -

Ask a question, get an answer
So far it looks like 1940's for the Medalist lids, both felts and straws. There is an auction on for a boater claimed to be 1929 but Dinerman has helped me debunk it. It's a '40s lid. I'll post the story when the auction is over. -

Panama Hat Thread
So far it looks like 1940's or later on the Medalist business. Medalist was also a felt model, BTW. I picked up a few bands from Shushan's. Here's another one. The ones I purchased are poplin so they shrink to fit as you can see. Silk will also shrink to fit. -

Panama Hat Thread
Most straws need a little moisture now and then so just give the whole hat a sponge bath. Fill a sink with a small squirt of liquid dish soap just like washing dishes, well not exactly. I use a big squirt for dishes. ;) Take a rung out wash rag and wash the whole hat followed by wiping with... -

Post New Hats Here!
Probably but who cares. A little heresy in the face of demagoguery never hurt anyone - well I guess if you don't count all the heretics burned at the stake! :eek: I'd loose the Stetson pin though. The feather is stylish. The pin is just cheap advertising. Put it with your other nick nack... -

Help with repair to a straw hat
This will be easy if the cracks are well approximated. I recently repaired a crack in a Panama with fabric glue. I ended up using Beacon Adhesives brand Fabri-Tac applied to the inside of the hat. There are so many different fabric glues out there. Just make sure whatever you use is non-acid...
