Does anyone have here have any experience with Optimo's panamas? How's their quality for the price, etc? -
Will rain water spoil a good felt hat?
Very good justification for multiple hats. :eusa_clap That said... hm, a few Optimos wouldn't hurt. :D Only problem is I have the habit of "wanting the best," and in this case.. well, multiple Optimo 1000s seem a bit overkill. -
Will rain water spoil a good felt hat?
So then, would it be a better idea to have a separate hat for when it's raining heavily? An umbrella is out of the question -- I am not permitted to carry one, let alone use it on Shabbos. As for the dye bleeding, I assume this wouldn't apply to Optimo's Silverbelly felt, which has no dye? -

Will rain water spoil a good felt hat?
I'm considering purchasing an Optimo 1000, which I generally intend to wear daily, but I was wondering if it would be ruined by rain. Edit: Sorry, it's been awhile since I posted here; it just occurred to me that I could've posted this question in the sticky. -
All You Need to Know About Hat Etiquette
Never been a dilemma for me. I wear hats for religious reasons, so they never come off unless I'm at home or somewhere I'd feel as comfortable in as I would be at home (e.g.; a close friend's or relative's place). -

Do you hold it the same way you would if it were a felt? -

That's what I'm worried about. The Laurel is made of raffia (I think), which is very very soft and light, almost bouncy. The Roxbury however feels like Shantung and is "harder," almost crispy. -

So my Roxbury (and Laurel) was delivered today; the Laurel's brim is already exactly as I want it, but the Roxbury's seems less curved, and certainly not as curved as shown on the Stetson website. There is a wire in the brim to hold the shape, but I'm afraid I'll ruin the hat since I've... -

Hats at London 2012
Made in China no less. Swap out the pink hatbands though. -

Now that is pretty cool. I was rather surprised to receive the shipping notification only a day after I placed the order. Probably one of the fastest shipping of an order I ever placed; great service. Here's hoping USPS (or the local post) doesn't screw up somewhere along the way. :p Just a... -

Got the Laurel and Roxbury from DelMonico. Might try getting one made by Optimo. They've got something called the McQueen; think a Panama could be done that way? http://www.optimohats.com/#/hats/131/ -

Do y'all have any idea where I could theoretically buy a Rodeo Drive Stetson? http://www.stetsonhat.com/collections.php?prod_id=114 I love the look of those straws with a dramatic curled brim. -

So, after leaving my cap's brim curved overnight, it now has a nice curve to it, but it won't quite "hold." I.e. I think it will flatten out after a few hours. Is there anything I can do to make the curve more permanent? -

The Cap Faction
Wouldn't that just spoil the cap in the long run though? I mean like, the tension (not sure what else to call it) will just cause the pin-holes to get bigger over time, no? -

I'm not sure what the brim is made of, but right now what I'm doing is just tying an elastic band around the brim, and letting the tension bend it itself. -
