Anybody ever buy Panama's from this seller???
Brisa is probably grade 4-6, Llano end of season stock..depends on hat size. They'll blow Homero and Ecua out of the water. send me an email with your size. robert@panamas.biz -

WPSI doesn't equate well with brisa...different weave technique. Also, Cuenca grades their llanos differently, but I'd say you could get decent grades 1 each shipped. What size are you? -

I've put on first class international shipping on the auctions. You get what you pay for, or better from us. We, too, have lots of problems from suppliers in Ecuador. -

The lowest price I can see is $65.99 including the shipping. I'd be happy to send a $42.99 ($30.00 plus shipping and hat box) hat to you to compare to that if you order theirs. We work direct, too, so all is fair. -

I'll take $5000.00 and we'll both go down to Montecristi for a week. You can meet Manuel Alarcon, Simon Espinal, Marcial Espinal, take your pick of hats and save a lot of money! :) -

The hat is shaped, so I think you're asking about reshaping the brim. You can do this yourself by ironing the brim and molding it with your hands. Keep the iron cool. Sometimes, you can do it with steam, but keep the steam away from the inside of the crown. There is a little bit of sizing... -

Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
My newest email gripe from ebay. I don't own a cat. :) "Thank you for sending the replacement hat. The smell of cat urine puts it above all the rest. When I'm ready to purchase a quality (read expensive) hat, I'll be sure to contact you... last!" I'm sure the guy is a lounge member... -

Poly meaning plastic, not panama straw (paja toquilla). Rain won't ruin the hat, but it will certainly take the blocking out, unless heavily lacquered. -

I'm on a little phone and it's very sunny out here, but it loos like a bleached Cuenca, lower grade. Cuenca uses 20 grades. When I get home tonight, I will take a second look. -

Nice find, Cuenca brisa. I've sent a photo to Ecuador to see if they can nail a time period. In Montecristi, they can nail down who wove the hat at times. -

I had a really fine Llano Liso with a long brim and Gus Miller turned it into this beauty of a Gambler. I also have been toying with Peruvian hats and had Gus block a couple. Here's one. These are the sturdiest Panama hats I've seen. As one member here has said, they are a brick "" house... -

That Lady's hat style...I've got about 40 of them in the garage. I'm going to have them changed into fedoras w/ curled brims as time allows. -

They're very mum on who is making what for which company in Ecuador. Occasionally, they'll leave a drawer open for you to peak in, as they wink, so that you can see some of the labels that are in there. Looks nice. -
