Yes definitely PHD is having issues but if you go to panamahatsdepot.com you will find genuine Montecristi Panama hats and yes the website is still in baby steps but it will keep growing. William has been working on hats for 20 years so he definitely will help you to get the hat you need. if you place an order he will send you pictures of the hat that arrives to his hand for you and he will send you pics of the hat in every step that goes through. You will not be disappointedIt's been awhile! So what's the latest in good, affordable Panama hats? (Or hats in general?) It looks like PHD might be having issues. They seem to have almost no inventory at this time, for one thing. And I see a couple posts here hinting at issues. New players seem possibly on the scene. (William's shop?) I loved my biz w PHD! I so appreciated seeing pics of the actual hat. ...So what's the hot tip? My hats are getting old. I have needs! Thanks!
