Congratulations Jorge! We're glad to see you here. Would you mind to tell us how are your beautiful artisan hats priced?

Yes, I'd really appreciate if you posted some images of your acquisition.

Absolutely, brim down style is the way to go with typical "adventurer" style hats.

Thank you! I keep reading the thread. ;)

Oh, so you meant 30 wave per SQUARE inch... That's indeed junk. A $5-6 hat maybe, and they don't produce such crap in Montecristi I believe.

Thank you so much for your reply. I'm glad to hear something positive feedback about 'em, it makes me more confident. The only thing I have concern is that they refused writing a lower amount as product value on the package than the real retail. It makes their hat 19-27% more expensive thanks...

Thank you! In the Panama thread I asked whether it was worth to order from panamahutdirekt.de / their Ebay store but no one'd had experience / heard about them that was quite surprising as they have hundreds of positive ratings on Ebay. I was even accused that I worked for them just because I...
