Some Cuencano Panama Hats

[Panamabob]

You can see my daughter's shrinky dinks and makit' bakit' stuff on the table, too! You can see the natural Montecristis on the top on some photos.

First is a center dent, typical Cuenca. Left is brisa, right is fine llano.

Next is Finga, fine llano left, brisa right.

Next is Mouse River, brisa left, fino llano right.

Some new pugarees we're looking at, too.

How about a fine llano and the paisley pugaree. Nice combo!

Fine Llano with the blue polka dot. That would be the exact montecristi that I lust after every time I see Seabiscuit

(It's Jeff Bridges' friends' spanish contact who walks with them when Jeff sees Chris Cooper in the field in Mexico.

I love that guys hat and the suit the other guy is wearing with the bowtie.

I got the image from a post about the ladies hat. Good memory I think.

Those are some very nice looking hats. Question; how are the hats whitened? Is there a color added or are the fibers bleached?

Hi, Robert.

Hmm, the "fine llano" does indeed look fine. I love the "Finga" block.

Do you know yet what price you're going to be selling these for?

And, now you've had the chance to play with them a bit more, how do you think they compare to equivalently priced Montecristi hats? (Not just in terms of immediately perceived quality, but also things like hat lifespan and ability to be periodically reblocked, if that's something you've been able to check).

What sort of weave count do they have?

If you happen to have a llano with a high crown and at least 2 1/2 inch brim then I would be interested. The paisley pug would be interesting but then again so would the tan with polka dots or even the solid blue.

Regards to all,

J

The hats are oxygenated in wet vats. No color added here. There are literally about 100 colors that you could choose from. We'll have some browns up soon.

Good job Robert

I like the white color for a change!
