In our counting method it has 1700 weaves in some places per sq. inch.

It was ironed as a 58 cm (though can be blocked from 55-64) and the crown is 4 inches and the brim is nearly 4 inches. When blocked I imagine the crown peak will be 5 inches and the brim 3 inches, or 5.25/2.75, depending on ultimate size of the block.

I?Ǭ¥ve been promised more...but get this...by August/September...I?Ǭ¥m guessing October...that will be 4 months after the weather breaks and they make tighter weaves.

I?Ǭ¥ll let you know how the owner of this hat feels.

My price is.....wait....your price is.....

Not $3500 as in the great Southwest
Not $2500 in those tiny islands.

Not $1000.00.



Probably something like $800.00 or less.

ARE YOU KIDDING?!?!? Is this a real photo? This is a 20K hat in one shop I know, and a way to get a copyright removed from the competetion. Can I buy one of these?

We should have more by late summer/early fall. The weather is just breaking here and the weavers weave more tightly in the cooler weather.

Keep the weavers weaving!
