^^^too funny!!
Thank you, Bowen! It looks nice and clean, and I love the brim. I saw others, that had a lot of defects, that were priced higher. This seemed like a good deal.What a beauty Max!
Get some grey tails and a cane and you could be that guy in the Mr. Disney hats.
Oh crap!! Did i say Disney??

Thank you, I've perused their stock and called them.
The only thing they have that I might be interested in is the Gambler hat.
I think Im just going to hold out for a custom hat-maker.
At this point, I'm going to have to travel a few states away from this northern metrofied manufactured area and get to some good old country southern/western handmade craftsmanship.
Yo, DM, have you tried to contact Vince Corvelli in Bethesda? He can do what you need, if he’s still in practice!
Well, no...I had no idea there WAS someone in Bethesda!!!
Please, send me his contact info!!
Thank you!!

THIS is why we love the Lounge, Sir!
I used Googoo.com to find him, and among other results came up with this:

He did a high weave count Panama block and finish for me a few years ago. Excellent job! He had blocks that no other hatter I found anywhere had.
Sir, if I ever meet you...lunch/dinner is on me!
(Drinks included!)
Happy New year, Charlie. Where the devil have you been?Glad I could help, and I hope Mr. Corvelli can, too. Please let us know how he is, how it works out!
Yeah!Happy New year, Charlie. Where the devil have you been?

Exactly the same thing happened to me! I didn't even dream that I would some day be able to buy it.Wow! What a hat!! I remember seeing this hat when I was first lurking here and I felt a cold sweat followed by some very un-Christian envy.
