Especially the cotton-rayon blend. So soft and curvable, makes poly grosgrain feel like stiff plastic. If you want to go that route, Judith M. Millinery has a lot of colors and widths. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/magic-hat-2#post-1627491 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 17:09:34 +0000 Beth Ann 1627491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look terrific in hats! &nbsp;The wider the brim, the better, for sun protection. &nbsp;I think it would be cool to have bands that you could sub out or change --- maybe a plaid or floral piece to go over a solid grosgrain......... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/magic-hat-2#post-1627437 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 15:39:28 +0000 Jenn 1627437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay&nbsp;<b>Angie</b>!

You and I are hat-opposites. I look goofy in a smaller-brimmed hat, so I don't think I'd want to go much smaller than the 3"!<br /><b><br />Ginger -&nbsp;</b>Thanks to you, I just learned the difference between grosgrain and petersham! Part of why I enjoy adding hats to my outfits is that it can add a feminine touch to some of my more tomboy outfits, so that perception is definitely a good thing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/magic-hat-2#post-1627428 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 15:29:20 +0000 Angie 1627428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/magic-hat-2#post-1627393 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 14:10:43 +0000 Ginger 1627393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really, really like it! Bummer about the J. Crew (I have a soft spot for panama fedoras) but this one may be even better. It looks <i>less </i>retro than the fedora shape, which is firmly 30s/40s. The wide brim looks a bit more feminine to me, too, while the coarser straw works very well with your style.&nbsp; I agree that a different band in the brown family - either leather or petersham - would be the only improvement possible. High five from another wide-brim-wearer, by the way. ;)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/magic-hat-2#post-1627360 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 13:02:00 +0000 Staysfit 1627360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How wide is the brim? You look great in a wide brim! Is it 4", 5"? I love the look of a wide brim hat. Probably because I can't wear one, they swamp me, and I look silly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/magic-hat-2#post-1627267 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 04:02:09 +0000 Jenn 1627267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Aida </b>and<b> Firecracker</b>, the ribbon band is held on by six or eight stitches, so it would be easily replaceable, if I so choose. A simple cognac leather band similar to my other hat might be really neat. Good idea!</p> <p><b>Cerinda</b>, it's very similar in shape to my other hat, so I wonder if it's the contrast with the band or just the pairing with the dress that gives it the retro vibe?</p> <p><b>shevia,&nbsp;</b>they do have some great ones, but it looks like they wouldn't fit my head. My 23.5" head seems to severely limit my options. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/magic-hat-2#post-1627249 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 03:28:29 +0000 Jaime 1627249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks great. I find ASOS a great source for hats btw.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/magic-hat-2#post-1627233 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 03:07:58 +0000 Cerinda 1627233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's very flattering, and a great hat. &nbsp;But will you be happy with its more retro, less boho vibe?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/magic-hat-2#post-1627183 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 01:28:03 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1627183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This one has a slightly different vibe than your winter version, a little more feminine. I like it! I agree with Aida that a band in a brown shade would work better with your palette. But black could also be a nice little accent. And I love the plaid dress on you! Glad you got it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/magic-hat-2#post-1627167 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 00:55:34 +0000 Aida 1627167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it! Not totally sold on a black band for you, though. Chocolate brown or cognac would work better if it's something that's replaceable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/magic-hat-2#post-1627161 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 00:28:59 +0000 Jenn 1627161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been on the hunt for a summer version of the wool Panama hat I've been wearing all fall/winter. I originally had my sights set on J. Crew's straw version, but the recent reviews were really sour on the quality, so I ordered this one from Nordstrom instead.</p> <p>What do you think? Is it a keeper? </p>
