Well, I like what I see so far. The crown dimensions look great. The brim snap looks similar to a vintage Stetson Panama that I have. I can deal with it.
I'll hold out until we get a report as to how it holds up to rain - and I mean rain - not just a sprinkle. ;)
Thanks Bart. Thanks...
Dang, I think I have the same lid. I really have to get this hat rolling - wash and press the pug and get some side dents in it. Thanks for the inspiration.
I like your black ribbon, Cracker, but I think I'll keep the pug. :D
Have someone drive you up to Dubuque and do a canoe float back to St. Louis. Your Fed will be fine by the time you get back home.
The Big Muddy is very interesting this time of year. :eek:
;)
:D
A vintage Mallory today.
But the really cool part is that when I had my hat off I was hanging out with Floyd of Rosedale, The Outland Trophy, the 2010 Orange Bowl trophy,...
:rolleyes:
It's some sort of conspiracy for sure. I'm not sure who's in charge of it, what their motives might be, WHAT THEY WANT CHANGED or anything like that but I know a conspiracy when I see one.
Nice lid. Good deal.
Here doggy doggy...
Shantung is a trade name for a paper fiber. The only shantung I've ever seen has some sort of a shellac coating. This is what makes it stiff.
I don't mind stiff straw. My Amish farmer's hat is very stiff but it's just woven straw - wheat or oat? I don't know - reinforced with cotton nylon...
I almost forgot :rolleyes: that I have a vintage Stetson Panama that needs some massage - it needs some dents next to the front pinch. I'll give it a spritz and report back. This one has a brim that's pushing 3 inches and snaps like there's no tomorrow. ;) :D
No kidding. Good thing I came prepared *.
I'll also put in a request for head shots.
RLK, I'll be happy model one since you can't possibly have time for them all. ;) :eusa_clap
