Panama Hat Thread
What a beautiful hat, sir! I'm thinking of buying an optimo hat, but this raises another important question: Where do you guys buy your Panama hats these days? -
Akubra sizes: true to the numbers?
This one is Fed IV Deluxe. After all the padding, the hat looks good, but it's still slightly loose, and I'm afraid even a soft wind might blow the hat off.

Akubra sizes: true to the numbers?
This was a really nice thread since its start few years back. Today, i received my first Akubra ever. I ordered a size 59 and was totally shocked when it turned out the actual hat I had in my hands was 60. I sent them an e-mail telling the size was other than what I had ordered. However, i... -

Thanks a lot! I'm not looking especially for an Indy looks, just a tall crown, as I think that was the pre and post WW 2 fashion. To my eyes, it looks like fedoras they sell in the name of Bogart actually do not represent the height of the crown Bogart had in his movies. Naturally, I might be... -

Christy's or Akubra: an update to opinions presented here a decade ago? I’m about to buy an open crown fur felt fedora hat. It’s something I haven’t have ever before. I started googling, and I found that eight or nine years ago there were interesting discussions about felts provided by Akubra...
