Great video! The jazz musician you've probably had in mind was the tenor saxophone player Lester Young. He wore exclusively the pork - pie hat and made it famous. ;)
Indeed a rather unique linen gun cloth, beautifully complimented with your choice of tie and shoe colour. Bravo Okie on your timeless style and thank you for yet another informative video.
You mentioned elk hair as a material for hat manufacturing. I have never come across any hats in elk/moose/deer. Can you or someone else please point me in the right direction? I tried looking at the Optimo hats website but found nothing. Kristoffer
Montecristi doesn't come from Panama, it comes from Ecuador. The reason why the hat is called Panama, is because it was used during the construction of the Panama canal by the workers and engineers and became extremely popular. But it comes from Ecuador, made by hand by indigenous people.
Great video! Truly informative. Thank you AskOkey! Just one clarification: Christy's still makes most of their hats at their factory in Oxfordshire, England (apparently, I am a big fan of Christy's hats😂)
Btw, I'm losing some hair at my age, so wearing hats is required for me cos living near the equator, skin cancer is something I don't want to happen in my lifetime.
Very elegant as always sir. How do you store/protect your hats when travelling? One issue I had with my hat when on holiday was protection. My straw hat suffered lost its original shape, most especially in the brim. I think it fell from my hand a few times.
Thank you Rudia. Welcome to AskOkey. We have a segment on storage and care of hats coming up soon 😁 Are you following us on instagram? @askokeyig PROFF
Sorry, but a Pork Pie would not have an oval crown. It would have a round crown. Like a pie. Panama hats are not from Panama, they are from Ecuador, but they became popular in Panama during the building of the Panama Canal. And, that is not a Hamburg. A Hamburg would have a center dent running the length of the crown, not a teardrop or C-crown. And there would be no pinch in the front of a Hamburg crown. You're correct, you don't know much about hats.
Sir, you should really inform yourself first before you appear as an export on hats. Lot's of mixed up informations. Montecristi is the area in ecquardor from with the Panama hats made of toquilla straw are actually made. Milan straw hat is made of a specific straw from italy and usually made in the city of Milan.
Andy, I am expert in TAILORING not HATS. We get requests from time to time from the audience to cover other topics such as hats. Which is exactly what I’ve done If you have something useful to add, I welcome it. But please be POLITE about it. This is not a COMPETITION for “WHO KNOWS BEST” Welcome aboard sir! PROFF
Hello Andy, I had thought the same thing when watching this video. There was lots of useful information that was given in this video and this gentleman even mentioned he was not an expert on hats while talking about Panama hats. Remember to always be as polite as possible when adding information to someone’s presentation! We all have information to share with one another. Hayden
Alex, I can’t offer much advice on color without actually seeing you. However very light colors don’t go well with a pale complexion due to a lack of contrast. PROFF👑

I had my GRANPA'S BOATER FROM BACK IN THE 20'S loved it so much.
Lester Young AKA the Prez popularized the pork pie hat.
The boater my POPA hat was made with a box weave from back in 20's.

In Australia a hat is to protect your head from the sun and the cold, depending on the season.
No Derby or Bowler Hat?
Not yet Loki 😁

Offtopic: the suit must be the opposite colour of my face or the same? Im pale, charcoal or light grey?
