You bet that counts, rlk. Great score!

Well, I recently got a good deal on that wider brimmed optimo crown Supernatural I was always on the hunt for. Here it is, just in time for the Florida heat:

Wow, dormant for over a year... *Bump*

Well guys, my first Supernatural has arrived. It's a Cuenca, refinished by Optimo, and previously owned by one of our own. That's right, folks, I'm now the proud new owner of GWD's fantastic Cuenca! And I love it! Thanks, man!

I'm glad it found a good home and I very please you're pleased!

Paid a visit to my favorite old-junk peddler yesterday. Scored this babe here for 10 bucks.

The body is in sound condition, as is the sweatband. The size is something like a 7 1/4 to a 7 3/8. One of these days I'll throw a pug on it and maybe flange the brim.

The days are getting longer. Pitchers and catchers report to training camp in a coupla-three weeks. Hope springs eternal, etc.

And now after a trip to the flange, and a new puggaree ...

Thanks to Alan for unearthing this thread on the Post New Hats Here! thread. It's a shame how many threads get buried over time. My too nicest milans are both Supernaturals and I've posted pixs of them previously on the Milan Mania thread. I can say without hesitation these are 2 of my favorite hats. The quality can be seen and felt. My first:





And my second:

Hey Mike, if you have that picture of my supernatural from the basement, I would love it if you share it here. Like I said before, I have a hard time posting pics.

 

[alanfgag]

Great reason for a bump, Mike!

 

[mikespens]

Glad you found it Alan!

WILCO Bob. This Supernatural belongs to Bob and I snapped some cellphone snaps because I liked it so much. Not the best camera or lighting but you get the idea. The pug! The weave! Supernatural!

 

[navarre]

Thanks for helping me share that one Mike.

Just ID'd this thread from a link posted by Alan - Thanks Alan. Wow, the Supernaturals posted on this thread are beautifully woven hats.

I would like to showcase my newly purchased vtg. Supernatural. It is a panama from Ecuadorian Panama Hat Co. It is marked Supernatural Tulcan Panama. The leather band notes it is made exclusively for Lewis and Thos. Saltz, Washington D.C. It is a gorgeous vintage panama. The leather sweatband is pristine and substantial. Excellent quality regardless of the age. The weave has the mesmerizing weave shown in other offerings on this thread.

I wish I knew more about the weaving process. I have been staring at the weave with the hat above my head backlit from the lights in my wardrobe. Wow, to hand weave this hat a craftsman spent some serious effort! Totally fascinating to contemplate. The large brim (nearly 3") does not bother (small) me. It will be a warm weather treasure. The blocked shape has an interesting and novel shape. I am have no motivation to change that. I received the hat with a bit wonky a brim and suspect that a shot of steam should tame the "beast." The hat, while marked my size, is a bit big. I am guessing with hat foam I should be able to get a fit.

I am honored to be able to provide a home and appreciate being able to wear this treasure.

Best, Eric -

Wow! That weave is great! Heres my supernatural Milan...this one is Sinatra-esque

Nice glasses, what brand are they? I am looking for some vintage style sunglasses and those are really nice. Thanks.

My pleasure Bob

Terrific panama Eric, congrats!

Jared, your milan is terrific too, love the pug!

Supernatural Genuine Leghorn

 

[hatsRme]

I can only dream of wearing one of these masterpieces... sigh. One of my favorite threads!

 

[Short Balding Guy]

Alan; Oh my, that is a doozy of a milan!

 

[alanfgag]

Thanks Eric... not a milan - leghorn is a plaited straw weave from Tuscany. I also have a Supernatural panama similar to yours. It's the hat on the right in the picture below.
