    Stefano Cagney opinions?

    Hi, I searched for this and found one thread. I was wondering if anyone had any additional experience/knowledge to share. 2 of the site sponsors sell this and it seems to be a good price, I just want to figure out if it is a good value as well. Thanks, French

    Montechristi vs. Cuenca question

    thanks Tom! Tom, Thanks for the information, insight and reality check. I guess reading the forums makes me forget that most likely all the hats discussed are quite nice. Based on your post, I think a Cuenca and a lower end Montechristi are in the plans for next spring/summer...

    Hi, I'm new here and am planning for a Panama Hat for next summer. I've read up on the Montechristi and Cuenca versions of the Panama hat. Right now, the Cuenca is within my budget, but I would hate to "throw that money away" with a hat that only lasted a summer or two. I would...
