    Colombian hats?

    I´ve handled them recently and they are on the order of a medium grade fino from Cuenca. I´ve had samples of them much finer, but only small portions of the hat. They are more firm than both Montecristi and Cuenca. I can´t seem to find a reliable source, or I´d have them all of the time. I´m...

    Lefty, you infer that I'm a liar and a cheat once again. Thank you. There are plenty of people who have spent $800 with us and $800 with the others. They know what kinds of hats they've gotten. Well respected members here have spent 1K with the others and $200 with us and have been well...

    Panama Hat Thread

    Thanks for the advice. I'll reword some things on the website to make it clear that USA is the way to go. He, in essence, isn't paying for the work twice. He paid $95 for the hat, $12.00 for the ship, so really $83 for the hat. USA finishing costs extra. He didn't pay extra until now. For...

    Yes, sloppy. That's why she's taking classes. You can only beg and plead so much. What else do you want me to say? Have the hat blocked in the USA by a master hatter.

    Yep, that's why she's going to take some classes. I certainly am clear on the website that each step up and you get a better hat. USA block, you get the best. In house, you get the best we can do. Anyone else want to pile on? It's a real Montecristi for under $100.00, if I'm thinking of...

    Panama Hat Thread

    I didn't mean it that way. I just sometimes see hats on here and didn't know the people were lounge members. I can check emails, but I generally give an in house price and a price for having things done by a hatter. My wife does her best, but doesn't always "listen" to me about the ribbons...

    Sorry! I beg members here to buy USA blocked hats. Some sneak attacks happen, meaning that I don't know they are members here. As I say on the website, you can't beat the USA blocks/finishes....and you can't change Ecuadorians (sorry any Ecuadorians out there, but you know what I mean).

    It does look too forward. Sorry. Ouch, you guys, I read this too. Sorry about our poor quality. I beg people to buy USA blocked hats. I spend hours and hours on emails and give the best prices possible, but would love to only sell USA blocked/finished hats.

    Need a New Straw Hat . . . . All Opinions Welcome

    Ebay is a vehicle to move stock. Lots of brisas and brisa finos there. Weave quality is 2-3 grades higher than that scala on most. I do have some hats exactly the same weave as the Scala and finished by the same company in Cuenca. The special discounted hats on the website are a great...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Was the hat $12,000.00? When I look up the photo, the only order I can find with that man's name is a $90.00 hat. I'll do some more research tomorrow to see where the hat was referenced here. I'm unclear on why you wish to do this (make me look bad, put me down, treat me like dirt, etc.)...

    I've seen the rice bag technique in Ecuador. From Microwave to the top of the hat. :)

    A pretty good Montecristi Panama hat video

    Pablo Franco is a good man. Many of the members here wear his hats. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAjZ2cnqu9A

    Funny. The comparison shot is of a regular Montecristi and a finer one.

    panama hats direct?

    Hopefully, things have improved. There are plenty of people that don't like me/my hats, too. It comes with the territory.

    Can you get a quality straw hat for $100

    The specials are "as is". I've changed a few ribbons out on them, but was notified via email or phone and we worked out the price. I'm sorry, I seem to have missed your note, or I would have emailed you.
