To my mind, a fine montecristi is a tight weave and more... it should also have a straight and even weave, attractive blocking and fine finishing elements throughout. I've handled a couple of dozen montes over the years - this is my favorite. It carries some injury to the straw which speaks its age and journey from Ecuador to Cuba to various homes in the U.S. Pre-revolution, likely 1940s, perhaps 1930s. A treasure acquired from my good friend @buler.


This Cuban (me) is very, very jealous. Gorgeous.
