I had to share this...special woven Montecristi

[Panamabob]

A special 5 inch brimmed Montecristi.

We've had a lot of special orders this year and they are starting to trickle in now.

Sharpetoyes has one of these long brimmed hats. He regularly lands at Orlando International with it.

Nice to read you!

Can't resist...

That brim is wide, but wouldn't it be more effective to
use a parachute?

Gee that one looks like the one I am getting---right?

Regards to all,

What's the weave like Robert? Count? close ups por favor

 

[Panamabob]

A hat I've seen on some other websites in the $500.00 range. GOUGING!

Some more of the 5 inch brim hat.

In the 350 wpsi range. Normally a 99 or so wholesale hat, but cost about 130 to weave out. CRAZY!

You have some nice hats there . Most important , the price is right . You aren't charging 2,000.00 for a 500.00 hat .:cool2:

 

[Panamabob]

Goodness, no!

The $500.00 hats I've seen have had $10,000+ price tags or more.

 

[SHARPETOYS]

Nice hat Robert. Is it sold??:cry:

 

[Panamabob]

The big one is sold. The open weave calado is not sold.

 

[SHARPETOYS]

You sure have the hats and the best prices.

Someone is going to get a nice hat. A open weave at this seller site is $625.00. Ridicilious price!

A special 5 inch brimmed Montecristi.

Impressive Robert - how much longer does it take the artisan to weave that?

unless, of course, there are high winds...?

 

[Panamabob]

I'm not sure exactly how much longer it takes. I'll ask.
