Love that one Steve!
Echter Borsalino
O. G., I do like that one.
Esther, thank you for the information about Kopka. I emailed the company a few months ago, as I was unable to access the download page with price lists, and a very friendly representative emailed me back price lists for felts and straws. Only problem is that I'm not sure how to order, if the ordering page is part of the site that I can't access. I was interested mostly in the overall quality of their products, and especially the "tissue felt", if it is thin and lightweight for summer hats and also was curious about the vintage hat bodies mentioned but not shown or described. I also was curious if they make the felt or where it comes from if they don't make it. Thanks again for any info you have.
Nice! Another one on the lounge!
Joao, I like the Butterfield. Is that new?

I was going to post right after Esther, but Charlie is right... a tough act to follow, so I waited a bit! Thanks for stepping up Charlie, S4C, and Greg.
And the reason it's a tough act to follow is that I'm wearing my attempt at a conversion again today... from Akubra Stockman to a Fed IV clone. I think I finally worked out my brim issues with a triple dose of steam.
