    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    A couple of months ago I transitioned to a new position. Same company but a new roll. This has placed me in a completely new facility. Most of my coworkers are new to me and therefor have never seen me wearing my hats. I wear my hat through the building to my desk. I have a computer bag in my...

    Help with a Panama please

    I have no first hand experience with PHD. But looking at the site - they all look like Cuenca hats to me. But I could easily be wrong. I currently have 7 Brent Black Montecristi hats. The weave ranges from 440 to 1200 WPI. The most I paid for one is $225. They are all used but all are a better...

    Help with a Panama please

    Brent, you are being overly generous in your description of my Panama knowledge. But, yes. The "Brisa" weave in my experience is the most common I've seen on what we would normally call a Montecristi. The "Cuenca" weave is probably most seen on Cuenca hats. But I don't know if that could be...

    Help with a Panama please

    Montecristi and Cuenca (kwayn-ka) are the two primary centers of panama hat production and export in Ecuador. Montecristi is on the coast, and Cuenca is in the Andes Mountains. Better hats come from Montecristi - more hats come from Cuenca. Many (and by that, I mean most) hats labeled as...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    5 1/2" open, 4 1/4" front, 3 3/4" back I think it may be the way my wife holds the phone when taking the picture. She hold it kinda down with it tilted back a little. But I do tend to wear between 4 1/2” to 5” on the front. The Flagship is just slightly shorter.

    This is the a Brent Black I won on eBay a while back. It was supposed to be a 7 1/8 but turned out to be a 6 7/8. I sent it to Mike to size and replace the ribbon. I also had him change the brim to be curled on the sides and back. Specs: Brim: 2 3/4" front, 2 5/8" sides & back curled, 3" sides...

    Help with Mac Lachlan hat please

    It's a very nice hat that is most often called a Homburg. I can't tell from the pictures whether it's navy blue or black. Black is much more common. It's a larger size which is nice. I would think it's from the 50s but could be late 40s.
