Check out Panama Bob. He has a few on ebay at the moment--do a search for seller ID panamahatsecuador. Or visit his web site: http://www.panamas.biz/
He's a good guy, with good hats, and a member here.
Good luck with your search!

The alternative is buying a good quality 'Jipijapa' (hippieharpa) straw over there as I did once.

I am not sure, but they can be the same as http://www.panamahatsdirect.com/arp/3days.html?3 I have ordered form them before and was happy with the product. A Optimo Super fino with a red pleaterd silk band. If I order from them again I would ask that the liner be left out of the hat. My two cents worth.

Less expensive option
This is a less expensive option in a straw fedora:
http://www.hats-plus.com/detail.aspx?ID=457&Name=Stetson-Retro-Fedora-Hat
If this came in my size, I'd have one by now.
I'm sure it could never measure up to Panama Bob's product, though.

Panama Bob is a great option as many have recommended already. I am waiting on a Montecristi I ordered from him not too long ago. Besides the outstanding hat Bob delivers, he gives a generous discount for for us FL'ers. I mentioned that I read many good things about him on this board, and without hesitation, Bob offered me what I asked about at a sweet, discounted price. Plus he responds very quickly to emails.
All you need to do is use the search feature in the forum and you will find numerous compliments for Panama Bob and his outstanding service. Another great resource for info is HungaryTom. A gentleman and very knowledgeable. I read most of his posts to learn about these hats before I ordered my first.

I emailed him when I placed my order, and he told me about a hat he had in stock blocked by Gus Miller. I got a great deal on a very fine hat and didn't have to wait!

Broners are nice and not too expensive. I recently purchased my second Casablanca at Shushan's in New Orleans. They do mail order, but I happened to be down there on business and stopped in ...

I can recommend Panama Bob as do many others. I just received my first hat from him two days ago. He is very easy to work with, and his Montecristis feel more like cloth than straw.

Panama Bob of course - but in downtown Seattle is Byrnie Utz if you want to look at, feel, try on a selection. The other option is David Morgan in Bothell/Woodinville - it's just off the 405, so it's not too big a drive from Everett. They have a few straw Panamas / fedoras in your price range. And if you go in on Saturday, Mr. Morgan's probably there running the shop and he's a wealth of information and great to talk to...and you can tell your friends you met the man who makes all the whips that Harrison Ford uses in the Indiana Jones movies.

The Diamante
Following the advice in this thread, I checked with Panama Bob and found that he had a Diamante in my size. I ordered it earlier this week, and when I got home from a regatta this afternoon the hat was waiting for me:
This is my first panama hat, and I couldn't be happier with it.
Regards,
Warren

... looks as though it had always been on your head. Very nice match!
