THE SUNBODY ASSOCIATION
I recently bought this standard quality Equador palm 3.5in open crown hat. It was very easy to crease when wet. The cloth sweat is very comfortable and holds better in the wind than the cloth sweat in my panama hat. This hat is a very good value...I may have to get a fine quality one next in a... -

I tend to gravitate towards taller-crowned hats, so I am biased, but I think it looks great, especially nice in the picture I quoted above. -
Brim edge, naked or covered?
I much prefer raw edge over bound, but after saying that, I have 2 hats with bound edges (narrow binding), so it doesn't prevent me from liking the hat. I probably wouldn't ever buy a hat with a widely bound edge, but there is no such thing as "never". I absolutely LOVE that Beaver/Vicuna 100... -

Introducing both "Journeyman" and "Hitchhiker"
I love both of these, especially the Journeyman. The only thing I would change is the shiny hardware...maybe tone it down with a bronze colored hardware or something. The leather braid treatment could also look good, or just an Open Road style ribbon. I think I will put the Journeyman in the... -

Akubra Overload
My first Akubra hat...the Pilbara. Akubra definitely seems to offer good value and I think I might buy a camp draft next...or maybe a Fed IV. I bought this one for its superior protection from sun and precipitation. IMGP0477 by srserl, on Flickr IMGP0476 by srserl, on Flickr -
Introduction
Hi from CA. I bought a Panama this spring for sun protection and found the FL while searching for a winter hat on the internet. This is a very bad influence as I now have about a dozen hats on my ebay watch list...might even bid on one or two. Greetings, Scott
