I like it, especially the black brim binding, though I also wish it were wider. I have a weakness for gray hats anyway. How does the felt feel?
Another question, MK, if you please. Why did you ask for the white liner?
I've never bought a hat from Panama Hats Direct, but I sure can't say enough for Robert Weber. He will get you what you want, cheap or not. For my money, I'll stay with him.
Thanks, Clay and Gene. I'm pretty pleased with this one. Not that I haven't been pleased with the first two as well, but this is the new one. :)
Gene, you surely have a fine collection of hats. They all look great on you. Keep showing them to us. I enjoy seeing them and I'm sure a lot of...
Welcome to the lounge, DP. I thought I'd throw in my two cents too. My first tall open crown hat was an Akubra Fed Deluxe IV, and I thought it looked too tall at first too. Since then I've acquired one of Johnnyphi's Stetsons (see my avatar) with an even taller open crown. The beauty of these...
This hat arrived today from Panama Bob, blocked by Gus Miller. It's covering my nearly bald head now. It's a semi-colado complete with two ribbons. I asked for a blue color called mediterranean blue and Robert said Gus told him that the sea was different colors depending on the time of day...

Very impressive, Mark, and fantastic looking on you. You wear that hat like you made it for yourself! ;) ;) ;)
Love that diamond!
Art...
I wanted to add my sentiments to this thread for your successful and complete recovery from this temporary setback.
Your hat that you're making for me to wear will wait. It's too hot here to wear it now anyway and will be too hot for some time yet. By all means, attend to yourself...
Both of those stratoliner clones from Art are dead on gorgeous. What color is the ribbon and binding on the dark moss one?
Beautiful hats, gentlemen. I may have to ask Art to make me one of those next.
MD, that one is the NOS Stetson Royal Stetson I won from Johnnyphi's auction a couple of weeks ago. It is the nicest hat I own at the moment. I really can't praise it enough. It's older than I am and in better shape to boot.:eusa_doh: :eusa_doh: :eek: :eek:
Thank you, by the way.
I'm...
I am interested in this hat also, especially one with a 2 5/8 bound brim. I've been watching this thread for several days. Any new developments? Thanks.
Another winner, blade runner. Isn't it amazing how all of Art's hats are winners? And isn't it amazing how you can put a burgundy ribbon with so many different colors and it looks great every time? :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap
I've got one in the works.
Two nice ones there, daizawaguy. I sent my conformer back to Art last Wednesday. Seeing these makes me even more anxious to have mine, but Art tells me his que is 10 weeks out. I should have it at about the right time to wear it this fall. Sounds about right to me!
Nice looking, Bart. I'm lovin' these tall hats that you can really put a bash in and still have a tall hat. Looks great.:eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap
