I thought his hat bodies were only Cuenca? I didn't kno he had Montecristi.

No he doesn't have the Montecristi bodies. I was only justifying my new hat to the wife by showing her just how much money was being saved over a $1000 hat. Mike has a really nice Montecristi he wears to work in the summer time. He got it at a thrift store in Eugene, the rat!

HAPPY STRAW HAT DAY!

a month early

As new as the end of last years straw season. A HELEN KAMINSKY, from Australia, clearly a subfino brisa (right?) but feels great and sits quite lightly.
They seem to be terribly overpriced when new, though, the workmanship is nice, fwiw.

On the prowl for Cuenca and Montecristi straw. Got the taste of blood in my mouth at a local mall, going to get serious tomorrow. Sorry no pics yet.

Got one of these today

COTTON "PANAMA" from MEXICO "Paygo Concept" 100% cotton. Cheap and light as a feather!

I saw all kinds of open weave crowns on hats worn at Miami airport yesterday. Very interesting.

No longer in production. Stetson Panama "Norwood." Maybe a Stetson "grade" 8.

Great looking panama, Bob. Not a very popular hat style in this part of the world due to the weather conditions.

Nice looking Panama, the weave looks tight and clean.

I'm drowning in straw here, can hardly keep my head up. There is so much to consider, and tough decisions to make.

Buy a "Baily's of Hollywood" for everyday wear and a Stetson Panama or equivalent for dress up and events...
