Thanks for that! I just got home from an air conditioned movie theater (how I love A/C!) so I'll check my emails from ebay to see if the seller has anything to say about it... I like your thinking on this! -

Several Cuenca, Ecuador Toquilla Straw Hats 4 Sale
I'll just say it. I don't like selling my hats, especially the navy one posted above... and this one. But like I said earlier, I just bought two fairly expensive Montecristi hats and I need to balance things out. This one was hand selected from hat bodies at the Homero Ortega Hat Company in...- FedOregon

Several Cuenca, Ecuador Toquilla Straw Hats 4 Sale
This is a hat I originally thought would be for my daughter, Lil' Fed, or a friend from church. But MrsFed picked out a better "hip" hat for Lil' Fed's B-Day and we got another hat for my buddy.

Panama Hat Thread
Most I have seen are glued on. The main thing I see is people trying to sell "genuine" Montecristi hats that are clearly not a MC style weave at all. Panama Hats Direct has a decent rep here as far as I've seen. I can't say one way or the other about anyone else. You can also contact some of... -

Panama Hat Thread
