Introduction--Down the Panama Hat Rabbit Hole...

[ACHiPo]

Keep that in mind when you plan your order for next summer!

Yeah I figure I'll place my order for next Summer this summer

I heard from Mike Miller from Northwest Hats. Kinda bummed I already ordered the Truffaux hat, as I was quite impressed with my exchange with Mike. That said, it'll be good to have a relatively inexpensive lid that I don't obsess too much over, plus it may give me a bit better idea of what I want in my next Panama from Mike. Oh, and I'll get the Truffaux next week--Mike's custom hats are running ~6 months.

It is both good to hear Mike's wait list is so long and he is doing so well. His hats are such a bargain as he is a true Master at his craft.

The Diamond Traveler arrived today from Truffaux. Great job packing. I really like the hat—not Uber fine, but seems to be well constructed and will serve as a good starter lid. At a little over $100 I won’t worry much about losing/damaging it. Will post pics when I get a chance.
