Hi,
Just bought a new Panama from Panama Hats Direct. The grading was Fino, which means it should have an average WPI of 200. I have not yet received the hat but attached are some photos from PHD.
I was a bit surprised by how thick the weave is and I am now worrying that the grading is well below 200 WPI. So hard to tell from a photo but as the hat may still take days to reach me, I thought I would ask for others opinions.
