    Absolutely, brim down style is the way to go with typical "adventurer" style hats.

    Oh, so you meant 30 wave per SQUARE inch... That's indeed junk. A $5-6 hat maybe, and they don't produce such crap in Montecristi I believe.

    Yes of couse, 30 WPI = ~ 900 WPSI.

    Wow! If 30 WPI is low to you then what counts good by your standards?

    Thank you Tukwila! Yes, as Bob said I just meant the shape / style of the hat as Optimo. I have a $100-ish Cuanca that I use for rough travels, tripocal environment, got rain, was crushed by luggages in airplanes overhead lockers, etc, that hat survives everything but shrank quite a lot once it...

    Hello everyone, I'd like to ask for your help. Could you tell me (guess) roughly what is the wave count of the following hat? The tape measure is in centimeters NOT inches, unfortunately it's positioned wrongly so it's impossible to tell the actual WPI. To me it seems quite a nicely woven...

    Thank you so much for your reply. I'm glad to hear something positive feedback about 'em, it makes me more confident. The only thing I have concern is that they refused writing a lower amount as product value on the package than the real retail. It makes their hat 19-27% more expensive thanks...

    New Panama from Brent Black

    Thank you! In the Panama thread I asked whether it was worth to order from panamahutdirekt.de / their Ebay store but no one'd had experience / heard about them that was quite surprising as they have hundreds of positive ratings on Ebay. I was even accused that I worked for them just because I...

    Panama Hat Thread

    Very nice hat indeed, I don't get that lining thing though. Did you specifically ask for lining or does Panama Hats Direct deliver all of their hats lined? It's just not really a standard in case of panamas since first of all they're summer / tropical head wear, providing shade beside good...

    You might change the sweatband, just find a good leather craftman.
