    Panamas Biz / Robert Weber - Very bad experience

    Miguel, considering the number of posts from the OP, it is hard for us to assess the veracity of your claim since we don't know you. I will allow some time for Bob to respond then this thread will be locked. There's no need for folks to pile on as it's a situation we can't know anything...

    Like hell it's yours! Hat cards

    They'd be easy enough to throw together in Publisher, etc. Here's one from the auction HatDoc just won:

    Panama hats ratings: my opinion

    I fear that you are attempting to quantify that which cannot be. Ultimately you cannot turn what is an art into a science. The answer is to deal with people you trust, who have a public reputation and will stand behind their product. I'm sure if you contacted Bob and said I want a...

    With your number of posts participating in the auctions shouldn't be a problem.

    If You Could Keep But Only One Of Your Lids...

    Okay, I've given this more thought than was pleasant (one hat--pshaw!). The only answer I can give is my 'Grandfather Hat', the Adam that Art restored from me, making a Phoenix from the ashes: Before After (and see current avatar) Now, if sentiment is taken out of it, or if you...

    Panama Hat Thread

    Thanks, gentlemen. I've got to cool it for awhile. I still have two ABs outstanding, so they should give me my hat fix over the next few months. I *think* my next Art order will be a Strat clone in the lightweight felt (maybe in Mojave or Sahara), but that won't be until next year.

    Panama Hat Thread

    My new arrival from Butte Falls, Oregon: With its fino brother looming in the background: Not a superduper googolfino as you can see, but what Art called "just a good hat." That's plenty good enough for me. My philosophy at this point in my hat wearing and financial life is...

    Milans from Optimo & Panama Grading

    And the pre-emptive encouragement goes unheeded. There is no reason why a discussion of Panamas needs to decline into a flame war. A number of us here have very fine hats from Bob, me included. My reading of what Lefty has said is that he is very happy with the PB hat he has. I think Bob...

    Milans from Optimo & Panama Grading

    I have no problem with the discussion of quality across different suppliers. Others are welcome to agree or disagree, etc., I just want the discussion to be civil. Civility often ends up being discarded when Panamas come up, which is beyond me. [huh]

    Milans from Optimo & Panama Grading

    Keep it nice Honest and open discussion of this topic is welcome. But just some pre-emptive encouragement for everyone to maintain a civil tone. This issue has a tendency to get everyone worked up for some reason. As this thread is actually about Optimo Milans perhaps we should pull these...

    Thinking about a work of Art

    I think it would be fine. I generally think people worry too much about matching hats with their clothes. You want to coordinate, not necessarily 'match'. With the ribbon and bow, give Art a general idea what you want and let him tend to the details. It will turn out better than you imagine...
