Been meaning to post this one for awhile but every time I started to the weather wouldn't cooperate; it was either raining or windy and frankly, this hat is as light as rice paper, feels about as delicate and scares hell out of me.

This came in yesterday. My second Resistol Beaver 25. Unique to me is the liner which bears the Roger Kent store name and nothing Resistol. Only hat I've ever owned that the store name wasn't printed or stamped on the sweat. Only info I could find was that there were Roger Kent stores in Cambridge, Philadelphia, New Haven and NYC.

Just got a new Panama in the mail today from Panama Hats Direct. The ordering process is interesting with lots of option. I ordered a "Custom Designed Montecristi Fino Classic Fedora" with a black silk band and brim of 3.6-3.9". I asked for it to be rollable and they told me that they would use less stiffener and a fabric sweatband instead of a leather one. Its made in Ecuador. And they provide almost daily updates. It was woven a bit faster than I thought for a fino. I wonder if they have them pre-made to certain brim size and then just weave the final part? Once it was done in Ecuador and sent to FL the updates just stopped for a week or two. And I hot a shipper notice.
I paid for a special balsa wood gift box as well. It arrived in pieces.... or at least the box did. Part of the hat were sticking almost out of the package. I thought for sure the hat would be ruined. But it was in fine shape. The crown is a little lower than I like. They put a liner in it... Not sure if I like that as I think it would make it a hotter hat. They also put in a leather sweat band.... I might have preferred cloth. The brim was supposed to be 3.6-3.9" but its more like 3.25- 3.6". But it looks ok and I rolled it once and it came out of it pretty well. I may see how easy it is to return or maybe I will keep it. Not sure.
Here is me in the hat.
I am curious if others have gotten hats at this place and what their experience has been
And the interior lining, band, and weave.

You wouldn't know it from the frequency with wich I wear my Open Road, but those short brim dress westerns are my favorite style of hat. There's just something about them that makes me think of road trips and ice cold beer in long neck bottles.
Very nice Amigo, great colors. I like the straw one too.Next my new Bone Gannon with a rust ribbon,
Well I really cant say anything else about Gannon hats except that this are not hats are works of art, Michael really creates something very special, this hats are the best value that you can get, this hat has "vintage", "handmade with love", "quality" and "exclusive" written all over.
Beautiful...
