Yes. It is all beaver. A thick felt. Very nicely made. Thank you for your recommendation. -

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Savannah. I'm hoping some of your expertise might assist. I recently purchased a black Stetson Pinnacle. While it may not be as fine as some customs I am fortunate to own, it is nonetheless a very beautiful hat. All beaver, well-made, and nicely... -

Optimo south side mobsters
Friends: My much better half and I recently took a much needed trip from the Hostess City to The Second City for a much needed break. You all know the kind of year and a half it’s been—for many of us. She visited museums and shopped; I saw the Cubs play at Wrigley. As a St. Louis Cardinals... -
Panama Hat Thread
Yes. I think Super Fino, or above if you want to spend some extra, will hold the block better. No problem with the questions. I usually don’t check on every day so I may miss the exchanges. -

What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?
Its a fun hat; just bought one myself. Tried to find a decent quality hat that I can travel with, crush, and still wear. This works and as you say, I forget I’m wearing it. -

I ordered and received a beautiful custom beaver, off white/silver belly from FineVintageFedoras (Bond) about four years ago. The product, the quality, and the service was excellent. -

Picked up this beautiful hat from fellow Lounger Reverbdave. It’s a Dobbs Steel Gray Milan which we believe is from 50s-60s and is in excellent condition. Even Chugg the Super Dog of Lounge fame appreciates its fine weave. All the best from The Hostess City. -
Post New Hats Here!
You are correct. I’ve seen speculation on line but nothing definitive. The guess of rabbit came from the JJ hatter. I asked and he indicated that the feel and hand was likely rabbit. -
Post New Hats Here!
Just received my Christmas present from JJ Hats. It will go back in the box shortly so I can enjoy opening it a second time. (And to keep my good friend from liking it too much as well.) Evidently this is one of not many remaining Stetsonians that JJ has in stock. I was pleased as always by... -
Felt hats in summer..
Living in beautiful Savannah means living in the heat—at least six months of the year. The Spring and Fall are gorgeous; the summers can be oppressive. I have about four Panamas that range from an everyday beater to an Optimo Montecristi. I wear them nine months of the year. I have some... -

Milan Mania
It is indeed a great town. We love it. My much better half is a UGA grad and of course UGA, the dog and UGA the school, are part of her DNA. She had the misfortune of marrying a transplanted Yankee who likes yet gets confused by the SEC and follows his beloved St. Louis Cardinals. (See me... -

Gentlemen: Only recently came across this thread. You each have such beautiful Milans—and some quite unique. Other than in those “brisk” winters of 50 degrees where the lightest of felts will work, I find I mostly wear straw here in Savannah—the Great Humidor of the SouthEast. I also have a non... -

What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?
Received my new Fino Fino Optimo from PanamaHatsDirect today. Perfect for pretty much every day of the year in Savannah GA. The weave is extraordinary and the block is excellent. Hats off, so to speak to PanamaHatsDirect who are making excellent hats, at a reasonable price and with DHL... -
Questions Concerning Panama Hats
Greetings. I’ve been searching the Lounge and have come up with a few pointers—some from more than a few years back—regarding shaping and straightening brims etc on Panama hats. Now that Art is retiring, would anyone have a recommendation about where to send a Panama for reblocking/cleanings...
