    Panama Hat Thread

    Been wearing straw hats for about a week now, weather permitting. Most of my straw hats are custom jobs, one way or another. My straw hat inventory includes: Brent Black Classic Fedora Brent Black Kentucky Smith Safari Edition JJ Hat Center custom Sisal Hat, The Manuel from Tesi Stetson...

    I don't know, and I don't have a scale which can measure mass to that precision. But it certainly is much lighter than my Qualitia Superiore Bellagios, and the felt is much thinner.

    Post New Hats Here!

    Finally finished my work on my new Borsalino 50 Grams hat in Dark Blue. Hat arrived unstiff and floppy, so I stiffened it and gave it a teardrop. This hat is blocked differently than their Classico and Bellagio models. It has a squarer crown and a 2-5/8" brim, where the Classicos are more...

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    This one doesn't have a lining, so they removed that weight. It also doesn't have a wind cord, which all other Qualitia Superiore hats have. I'm actually ordering a lining for it.

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    Just got my hands on a a dead stock Borsalino. This is a Borsalino 50grams hat in Navy. This hat has been generally out of stock in every hatter for at least two years. Found one in my size from a hatter in Germany. Just shipped out today.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Going out today with my new Akubra Stylemaster in brown (Loden). Haven't owned an Akubra since about 2020. I own mostly Stetson Royal Deluxe and Borsalinos. I actually stopped buying Akubras because of their inconsistency, or at least the inconsistency I perceived in my hats. I previously...

    Ordering an Akubra from Everything Australian

    I've got some Stylemasters on order. Should be arriving tomorrow. Haven't owned an Akubra since 2020. Should pair well with my Stetsons and Borsalinos.

    Ask a question, get an answer

    Yep. I figured as much. Considering I only wear Stetson Royal Deluxe and Borsalinos, this would be a considerable downgrade. I do have one rain hat, but it's made of cotton and doesn't really have the same aesthetic as a felt hat.

    Anyone have experience with Lite Felt (wool) hats? JJ Hat Center has brought back a hat from New York Hat Co. called The Atlantic. It's advertised as water-resistant, so I was thinking of using one as a hat for rainy days. However, from my experience, wool felt gets ruined in the rain. It's got...

    Source of James Spader's hats {The Blacklist}

    Being a fan, I tend to keep track of the hats James Spader wears on The Blacklist. I know that this thread is very old, but I thought that this was an interesting development worth mentioning. As most of everyone knows, Spader usually wore beaver quality Borsalinos, but due to the considerable...

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    Thanks. I hope for the best. Your hat seems a more off-white than mine, although it could just be the photograph.

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    I have a hat on order that is apparently going to be an extremely rare find. I ordered a Borsalino Bellagio in Silverbelly from DelMonico Hatter. I got a call from Ben saying that the hat had some water damage on the hatband. He sent me these pictures: Apparently, Silverbelly is a really...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    I'm wearing one of my favorite hats, the Tesi Manuel from JJ Hat Center. This is a sisol straw hat. Depending on the lighting in the room, the straw can look matte, glossy, or reflective. It also changes shades based on the light exposure. The straw is very stiff, and is easily reshaped with...

    Yeah, I can't tell. The felt seems to be just as soft, and no stiffer. I can't tell whether it is thicker or not.

    Post New Hats Here!

    Recently obtained a new Borsalino Bellagio in Charcoal. This hat is the "Qualitia Superiore" version of the Borsalino Classico. Surprisingly, I cannot tell the difference between the quality of this hat and the other "Alessandria" quality Classicos that I have. Aside from this hat...

    Here's my recently obtained Borsalino Classico in Navy. This hat blew off my head yesterday and landed in a puddle. After it dried, it was like it never got wet. Still in perfect condition.
