Unbelieveble. One of the nicest I've ever seen. Enjoy.

A Panama with a bound brim; I've never seen that and I like the way it looks. Actually, I have seen a Panama with a bound brim, just not on a fedora; Daisy has one, but it's a different type of hat.
I love the strip on the center of the ribbon and I love that color ribbon. What color would you call it?
I have a suggestion for all future Panama Hat orders, go with something other than a black ribbon. Yes, black is classic, but many vintage Panamas had more interesting ribbons.
Excellent Hat!
Cabinetman said:Not at all a negative comment - it's very neat - but is that straw green?? It's got a different cast about it, doesn't it? I'm thinking just the lighting (or shadow).
What say ye, Roger? Art? I say, "Bravo." Just curious about the color.

I absolutely love Panamas. Because I spend a lot of time in high ultraviolet destinations (Bolivia, Middle East), they are more or less necessary for me with my pale German skin...but, hell, I just think they are the sharpest looking hats around, and best of all you can wear them with anything (although I have worn a felt fedora with khakis, even shorts, before). I am going to buy one in Ecuador when I get there in a couple of weeks and will also send it to Art for blocking and finishing.
Any views out there on a ribbon color? I love the classic black, but I am open to anything sharp and distinctive.
