Then I took out of the bottom of the box another PB'S hemp hat, now in,a volor they call natural, a very light beige, I would say close to some Silverbellys, real nice workmanship again.

This one is a centerdent that wont get closer to the top of my head due to the tall or full crown.

Also perfect fit with a high quality leather sweatband, I irdered this one with a white pug, @Bob Roberts, a nice combo makes it for a very elegant but also not so formal hat.

The whole hat plus puggaree image makes this hat worth of a 1800's british landlord in Kenya, makes me want to go buy a Land Rover Defender.

Also very, very happy with the hat, i put it in my head and has been there all day long.

It was missing the sticky back PB'S logo, I told them about it and they were happy to mail a couple for me.

Also a real nice high quality hat.

Congrats, Chamuco! Both are beautiful hats. I just got my Strat-style back from them yesterday, and it couldn't be nicer. Except for sleeping, It hasn't been off my head. Cheers!

First of all, let me thank you for letting me copy your hat.

I worked the brim and all to give it my touch.

But honor should be given to who deserves it and it was you who made the first one !!!

Thanks a lot !!!

Two nice looking PB hats, Chamuco. These are great value for our money - I was wearing my black one today.

Chamuco, I received my first PB hemp, a black Strat-style with a thin, dark red ribbon, last summer, and have never noticed a black cherry tone to the hemp. Could it be that your larger red ribbon is affecting the way your eyes are interpreting the color? I only ask as I thought your comment was interesting.

Picked up my Milan at the store, this afternoon.

Indy style (but without the sharp Raiders crease), black Milan with dark red wine ribbon.

Fits perfectly and I'm very pleased. The guys said they are really busy and are working through the Milan backlog.

Here's the hat in the direct Texas afternoon sun:

Great straw. It's so hard to find one I like, and I really like that one.

 

[scottyrocks]

Thanks for the comments, guys.

DougC - I know what you mean about the black in the summer. I already have a black Milan Dualist that Art made for me and it works well in the evenings, regardless of the temperature.

Bob - the Indy style from the 4th movie is one of the my all time favorites (I have an Adventurebilt and a Penman in this style) and I was looking for something similar in straw. The PB guys make a lot of Indy hats and have the blocking perfected.


Cheers!
David!

Where are the straw Indys on their site?

You have to go to the "Dress Straws" first, and then scroll down to where it says "Click here to see our custom Milan straws." Then you scroll down and the "Snow white teardrop" and the "Indy brown" are the two Indys, I believe. The site's a bit basic and was the cause of some confusion on my recent purchase.

 

[DJH]

Yes, the site is very basic. In my case I just strolled to the store and had a chat with the guys.

Of course, not everyone is able to do that. [emoji1]

May 15. I posted the following question to this thread:
"Have anyone by the way noticed the sweet smell, when you hit the hat with steam? It reminds me of toffee - or the sweet component of a Cavendish dominated pipe tobacco. That was a fun surprise "

Well, today the "fun" part has faded severely! I got caught in a surprise shower today, wearing my PB. Jeez, what a gross stench!

The construction held up pretty well, but the aforementioned "sweet smell" became quite overwhelming in the rain. When wet it stinks like something between burnt toffee and a pair of teenage socks, that should have been washed a decade ago. Really ugly, indeed!

I went to a local café for a latte and to wait for dryer weather. I met a couple of friends, and as the second asked: "What's that ugly smell?", I got up and left. I was too embarrassed to take the bus, so I walked half way through the city and back.

I sincerely hope, the stench soon will leave the hat. If not, it can be had for the shipping. I have no use for a hat, that can't be worn around other people.

My enthusiasm has so far cooled of a whole lot ... almost completely! I really hope, it doesn't stay like this!

I too have smelled the "sweet smell" when the hat is wet or when it is extremely humid outside that honestly reminds me of the smell that occurs when one steps in a pile of dog poo. It is a great hat otherwise, but it smells terrible when damp. My Stetson hemp does not have such an issue.
