    Panama Hat Thread

    I can't see the third picture, but the first two are Cuenca hats, Brisa weave. Even my friends in Montecristi can't wait to sell inferior product to los cruceros. They pawn off cheap Cuenca hats are Montecristis.

    questions about Panama Bob's Cuenca Caballero

    I think we go through this every year. USA blocking/flanging is the way to go on our hats for the perfect lid. On ebay hats, very little is done save for pulling the hat out of the box and checking the size. Keeps prices low and eBay, for us, allows us to attract those looking for non-high...

It hurts many of...

    Send me an email with your address and I'll send you a tip sticker. Alternatively, you can cut those strands off with a sharp object. Razor blades are a common sight in hat finishers homes and offices.

    I can only seem to get my hands on a dozen or so each year. One just arrived two days ago. They're certainly not custom to one person. Believe half of what you read! My opinion. Others: Spots and shadows are due to poor camera technique! Some cool Colombian hats...

    Not victim. What??? You don't want me to tell you what they say in Ecuador. You don't want me to tell you that a cheap Cuenca Brisa is not a good hat. I get it. You don't want me to tell you that the hats are way overpriced. I understand. I thought I was a member here and could give the...
