That's a really nice one, David. Art really nailed that sepia color! What is the actual color combo?
The Good: nice Sunbody. They're Guatemalan palm, right? Can you describe the feel/stiffness of the straw? I've been curious, because my Atwood palm straw is very rigid when dry.
You just wouldn't know it from my expression, but honestly, I'm enjoying wearing my VS Sportaire today!
After a seven-month-long hat hiatus (not intentional, mostly due to indecisiveness), I've finally gotten myself another hat. A compliment on MayserWegener's most recent Goldsiegal acquisition led to MayserWegener offering to sell me his other Goldsiegal. I, of course, jumped at the chance, as this was one of my "Holy Grail" hats.
Once again, MayserWegener, thanks so much for the kind offer. The hat is incredible; the softness and malleability of the felt, the incredible feel of the finish (is it velour?) , and the richness of color make this hat an instant favorite!
It is a very stiff hat, which is what I was after for durability purposes, but it's not uncomfortable. You have to get used to the feeling, but it sort of shrinks to your head shape the more you wear it. It's also like you say, Guatemalan palm, and you can even shape it while wet, although I have not yet completely drenched mine in water. I probably might accidentally, the next time I take it kayaking!
Panama caps, eh Bob? Interesting...
PB, that is definitely a new twist on using paja toquilla! I used to wear newsboy/driving caps before I recognized my need to have shade all around. We need a close-up on that hat, to better see the texture, the contrasting color woven in.
