As much as I enjoy watching Sir Hopkins' performances in various movies, at the moment I'm more interested in the hat he's wearing in the photo above. Any thoughts or info? Does he express a loyalty to a particular hatter? Does he just buy whatever gets his attention? Would he buy an orange Trilby to match his Hannibal Lecter coveralls? inquiring minds would like to know, especially now that Akubra seems to be circling the drain. ;)
There's a website name of Borge & Scott: https://borgesandscott.com/blogs/ne...0VCJj5wgj64FyB4_13W1EU5z17M3E_AQIJsqakPzwPMHE that run features on Cultural Icons. It was just a stroke of luck that I came across Hannibal when searching for Panama Hats.

Caro Emerald who now goes by the name: Jordan. Tina loves the first hat, but being petite she said that she would look: "All hat"

If the brim was cut proportioned to her size, I believe Ms. Tina could pull off that "look" and would look amazing in that hat!

I hope you are both doing well after ailments last year.

Thank you, such kind compliments, I have passed your remarks on to the lady. It's good days and bad days, just as her surgeon said, but slowly, slowly, the lady improves.

I knew there used to be one out there. Didn’t know if it had changed or gone out of business. Ever hear any stories about the man himself?
Yes, he was a real character--his estate is now a park and his house was the one used in Fantasy Island:

Their peacocks (and peahens) drift into our neighborhood all the time and they are a mess. Beautiful, but a mess!
