Thanks Guys, glad you like 'em.  It is getting REALLY close to the end of felt hat season here......which is a good excuse to buy a nice Panama!

Might I also recommend a Molly Dooker "The Boxer" wine, which would also be a fine complement with such a fine hat...It's also from Down Unda.... ::)

Very nice find.

Even though I don't like wearing hats, I do appreciate good looking ones like yours.  When forced to wear one for theatrical purposes I've been told I'm pretty striking.  (Or was that they wanted to strike me?)

I may have to add one or two fedors to my collection of mostly baseball hats and the extra wide brimmed Indiana Jones.
