More straw! NW Hat Co. Panama at about 400 wpsi. When i sent this Cuenca straw hat body to Mike to make it into a fedora, he called and asked where i got it because it had a tighter, nicer weave than his Montecristi hat.

Can't wait for another trip to Ecuador to hunt down a couple more....

That looks very special indeed, Tuk. Thankfully, it's no sin to covet your fellow lounger's hat [emoji4]

Greetings All:
Today....fresh out of the box comes my second Matt Deckard prototype all beaver hat from 2014, i believe. My other from him is a black wide ribbon Premier Stratoliner also from 2014. These were the hats that brought Stetson hat quality back to it’s roots, quality wise, for a period of time while Matt was Head Designer for Stetson hats. Having two of his Prototypes pretty much satisfies my desire for modern hats in general. He did well, sorry he’s no longer their guide.
Be well. Bowen
Ps: the Premier wins the felt feel. IMHO.

Thats a beauty! Where and how do you find a hat body like that? I'd love to have Mike make one like that for me. Also, really nice closeup photography.

Two beautiful hats, Bowen. Modern hats, but very much with a classic feel.
