Thank you all … great advice and eye openers. I just need one final advice before buying the hat. The brim size I like concerns me, since I am on the chubby side a 3.5” to 4” seems fitting. A brim of this size will it have a tendency to warp, wave, deform or will it be strong enough?
Thanks for your reply ... very educational.
I am indeed looking for an entry level panama to be functional. I also want a wide brim due to Florida sun and also I am on the chubby side :).
From panamahatsdirect:
Style: Gambler or Fedora #2
Grade: 250-350 WPI or 400-500 WPI
Brim: 3.5 in...
I am out to buy my very first montecristi hat and I wonder if anyone ever purchased directly from Ecuador.
Most vendors have the same hat styles. The choice must lay on quality, professionalism or honesty.
Good or Bad, love to hear your comments/recommendations...
