Here is a custom stingy from Beaver Hats; I have no idea of how old it is.

5 1/2" Open Crown
1 7/8" Brim

Official size is 7 3/8 Long Oval, but based on the measurements I think this is more of a standard oval. The sweatband says "one...

Hat is in good condition, it is clean and quite soft. However, the sweatband is stiff and has some cracks (though not tears).

Thanks for the input guys, I'm very glad that the liquid was just the stiffener. I'll probably work the straw to soften it a little bit, glad to know I haven't damaged the hat or anything (it was my first time reshaping a straw lid). Thanks again guys, I appreciate it!
Milan Reshaping
I recently purchased a milan off the bay (genuine straw), and I wanted to modify the way it was creased. I sprayed it with distilled water, then tried to work it into the shape I wanted. I was surprised to see kind of a milky white, sticky liquid come out of the hat where I...

2 7/8" Brim

This hat will need a professional cleaning, unless you feel like a DIY project. There are dirt stains on the brim, crown, and ribbon. It needs a reblock as there are a couple of crease lines, as can be seen...

Mondays and Thursdays - pushups and dips.
Tuesdays - squats and calf raises.
Fridays - overhand and...
Thank you for all the responses...
I'm still on the fence on what to do, since nice panamas don't come in my size (7 1/2) frequently. My other option would probably be to buy from Panama Bob, which I would probably send to Art Fawcett for the finishing work. For a nice weave panama I'm sure...
I've got my eye on a Panama on Ebay, though it will be about a size too small and a little shorter crown than I would like. It looks like it will need a new ribbon and sweatband, so I am curious about resizing potential. The hat has a lot of brim, is it possible for a hatter to increase the...
