I usually discover/learn something new when an old thread has been bumped. Except for those that ask if a hat from five years ago is still for sale (although that has been true in some cases).
Necroposting....i love that term Jared!Although the Lounge does not have a formal policy that I'm aware of, many forums frown upon necroposting.
what is the rationale of that?
suppose someone would have put that same question about shantung today would there be anything wrong in answering?
The question had gone, by the way, unanswered then. If anyone using the search function would look it up and would want to add to it and new comments or information, would there be anything wrong ? There is nothing necrotic about this question and my answer.
I am very active in a saxophones forum and I cannot count the times that I encourage people, to follow up older posts.
The same spirit has to be used by the Administrator which merged a new question panama to a thread that has to be as old as the forum ( the oldest post in this thread is from 2006 !)
Yes....in this case you resurrected a 12 yr old unanswered question and answered it.I am a resurrector
Thank you.I will, thank you, the context information, in my view, is provided by two quotes in my post which provide information to where it came from, when the question was posted and by whom.
I agree that this certainly looks like an authentic Panama. But, either way, you can wear it with pride. It screams "vintage" and is, really, a beautiful hat.
Hi guys..is it a good idea to merge my thread?...it seems now i cant find where my thread starts and ends...and when i get a reply i cannot easily find it anymore..i may be a novice at this but i sure would like some clarity.
yea but why did you do that? Or whoever did it? i have to now dig out the answers..also how will people find my post easily if its buried so deep?

Your concerns are the reason we try not to "ressurect" dead posts, especially ones that have beaten to death in the years since.
But if we're new here then we don't know that a topic has been beaten to death for 12 years...
I like you hat nice crease, but I cringed when I saw you grab you hat by the crownFléchet Panama
Although light and soft, it still holds it shape well.

Is this complete graphic available?I have bought two very vintage “ straw” cones. One looks like it could be a panama weave and the other ( the lesser quality one) has a label saying that it is made of Formosa (Taiwan) Paper. Ishime weave.
Any Idea what this Formosa paper is and more importantly is there a thread about blocking , starting from a cone, a straw hat ( Panama or otherwise?).
I have found this picture of Ishime weave published by mayserwegener
If you mean the image above “ it's in a older thread here “ https://www.thefedoralounge.com/thr...-and-straw-braids-for-mens-summer-hats.85313/Is this complete graphic available?
I believe in the resurrection - so it’s all good to me. But yes, that is exactly what I was wanting. Thanks!If you mean the image above “ it's in a older thread here “ https://www.thefedoralounge.com/thr...-and-straw-braids-for-mens-summer-hats.85313/
I would have followed up on that thread but I din’t want o be thought of resurrecting threads.
After what happened before, I am not really sure what to do about posting new information in older threads. Like the following
