Oh yea, for those of you who don't want to spend money on a new scale, you can take your panama hat to the post office and have it officially weighted by the government. this will make a good conversation at the post office too. they will be amazed.

Nice hat Ricardo. how about a photo of the inside of the hat and sweatband. how many vueltas are there?

I also use an electronic scale I got from Office Max or Office Depot years ago. I think they are pretty inexpensive now. I was shown by (incabox) three different ways to count the finess of the weave on a montecristi. the weave count, the X's count and the "carreras" count. there are more ways...

Ricardo, I have several montecristi finos and wanted to know the easiest way to count. the ebay (incabox) guy I bought most of my montecristis from told me to use this tool in conbanation with a long sewing needle. http://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=CTLG&product%5Fid=63-1309...

One of my motecristi panamas is 1.9 wit all the trimmings. I also need a digital camara Ricardo so that I can post photos here

Me too. I'm unaware of the hat racket in question. Would you please send a PM and let me know what disgraced hat seller should be avoided? Jimmyfed

I bought a montecristi grueso about a year ago from ebay (incabox). The seller called it santa fe style. I don't know if that is a the vintage name or just a modern name for this style of hat. I hope this info gives you a good starting point in your search.

Niiicceee hats. I'll try to make time and photograph some of my hats and post them here. I don't realy have that many hats yet. Good luck on eBay!

nice hat and thank you for posting the pictures, I have 6 montecristis now, I started buying them over a year ago

It looks like the same quality as sharpetoy's $100 hat

Great video, Zohar. Once I learn how to post pictures here, I will have a photo of the hat I got from Joe (incabox @ eBay)

Good luck and hope that you bring lots of the best hats

Wow! the hats look great. Nice job Art and PanamaBob Is that $100 for both hats including the blocking or is it $100 per hat body, plus blocking?

Welcome hatlady I'm also new to this place and the world of hats. I just purchased a Fine Panama hat from incabox at ebay ($310). The hat is out of this world and I'm planning to buy several more from diferent vendors. I was going to buy two from Brent Black, but I have a friend who's bought...

I have decided to buy the following maybe it's a crazy thing to do, but I'm taking the chance. I've heard too many good things about Joe (incabox) I will also buy one from panamabob and Brent Black in the near future. Any words of encouragement or discouragement are wellcome...
