I don't see many recent posts to this forum. I think it's worth reminding Juhani and others that Panama Hats Direct is still running their sale. Casey keeps sending emails. and the latest is offering a 30% discount on custom or stock hats. The pricess are very nice. Can you get nicer...

Very nice cap! I'll be sure to look at Cordova Caps. Thank you!

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...

I’ll remember that technique. Nice day for a hike in December.

Thanks, Dave!

Agreed. Very nice.

My first purchase from PHD was their one of their Super Fino grades in May 2021, and I wore that hat for the past 2 summers. Last February, I purchased a Cuenca from PHD on sale. Big difference between them, but both met expectations for the price paid. The leather sweatband on the Super Fino...

Hi Brent! Yes. That's a nice touch. I've received quality service from PHD with every purchase. They have a nice sale indeed.

Thank you for the updated picture and reply, Dave!

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.
