It's a montecristi, right? if not then a darn well woven panama.


Well, I sure think that it is, Aureliano. That being said, there are people here who are far more expert in these matters, and perhaps one of them could weigh in.

Looking through the Panama Canal thread, I was surprised to see this Panama from feltfan -- seems to be very similar in terms of style (including ribbon) and vintage...

And thanks, gents! :)

Cheers,

You're right, Jimmy very similar hats indeed. I'm no expert either but it screams Montecristi to me. So you bought the hat, right? when I read IC's post saying he couldn't wait to see it in person I thought he did, I'm confused :p ...[huh]

You did it again, Jimmy. Great buy!:eusa_clap

Thanks, Aureliano. After doing some re-reading in the Panama Canal thread, I'm thinking this one may actually be a Cuenca, based on the series of posts starting at Post 119. [huh]

Cheers,
JtL

This Derby for the Cranially Challenged has an NRA Tag. About a 6-7/8 in only OK condition. Sweatband in excellent shape. Will go to a lesser head or the Bowers Museum. More in C & K thread soon.

Very nice!
You will love that classic crease!

That just made me wonder--has anyone ever done a "reverse Optimo" crease that pokes in instead of out? I'm trying to imagine it, and what I'm imagining isn't very appealing.
