    Batsakes: Gus Miller, Cincinnati, Ohio

    Should say Batsakes above, can't seem to edit that. I went down to pick up a bunch of hats today and to say goodbye to Gus and his workers. All I can say is that this is one remarkable place to visit. I hope the years go quickly while in Ecuador and I can come back to visit Gus and his crew.

    Fino Montecristi days seem numbered...

    My brother-in-law reports from Pile today that there aren't very many fino hats around. Why? Many of the weavers are working in agriculture, and those that have hats have jumped their prices about double. Why? The Panama Hat Company of the Pacific has artificially raised the paying price...

    It is raining, raining, and raining in Ecuador

    Thanks to the members here who've emailed or called to ask about the torrential rains in Ecuador. Yes, it is delaying everything, but what else is new? Wilson, my b-i-law, was in a bus accident and that has caused delays, too. I'm working on a newsletter for those of you who visit the...

    Gus Miller of Batsakes panamas

    We went to meet Gus a few weeks ago. He was a great man. People would walk in and he'd remember them from years ago. He blocked 7 hats for me that day and here are some photos.
