Sorry for the late reply to this thread, but I'll end with relevance. I purchased the 392 Sinatra Straw Hat just over a year ago. It's a replica of the Pork Pie hat with a Puggaree band that he sports on the covers of Come Fly With Me, Swing Along With Me, Classic Sinatra and other albums... -

This is an important point, and one that William Ramirez mentioned to me, when I purchased my first hat from PHD. It was what they call a Super Fino. (Reading Brent Black's information will teach you that terminology about hat grades varies between retailers and is subjective, rather than... -

Daniel, I couldn’t agree more. I have direct experience with Panama Hats Dieect (PHD), and I recommend the wholeheartedly. I can’t afford Brent Black (maybe some day), and his website is very informative. Michael, please PM me for information about PHD. -

Nico, I was looking for my first 8-panel cap. It may be surprising to some, but I am considering their red and vermilion caps. Red is my color, and It appears in my closet in many ways. Is this the red or vermilion color? You can PM me, if it’s easier. -

I just saw this a week ago. Sadly, my size is unavailable, but I think they have my son-in-law’s size. It would make a wonderful Christmas gift. -

Just following up with a pic of the Cuenca hat that arrived yesterday from PHD. I like the Plantation crown a little better than the Havana crown on the Montecristi I bought from them last year. It’s not a Montecristi, so I’m not going to nitpick the details. However, I can say this was the... -

I must admit that The Hip Hat website shows nice looking hats at decent prices. I wish them all the best in getting their business started. Also, I understand what Brent is saying about blocking and looking for a hat with minimal taper. I'm going to see what Panama Hats Direct Plantation... -

JeffOYB, deadlyhandsome is absolutely correct. I know far less that him or others on this forum, but you'll see my correspondence with the helpful people here on page 233. I purchased a Havana style hat from PHD in early May. This was my first panama hat. They had what I wanted already made...
