WTB: I have never seen a Panama like this

[jdouglasj]

Okay, first, the hat:

The key features here are the nearly vertical sides, as perhaps a 60 block, and the relatively sharp edge at the top, which distinguishes is from this hat (which I don't much like):

There is little taper on the sides of the hat, but this hat is very rounded up top. I want the sharper edge.

So is there a hat maker with the blocks to re-create that first hat? If not, anyone know of a hat like that for a 7 5/8 long oval head???

Check with Mike @NorthWest Hats. He does great work and might be able to recreate it for you.

Thanks, I already did. He can't pull that one off.

If Mike can't then it may be impossible to do!!
