    My new Brent Black Panama

    Wildblue -- As the proud owner of a couple of BBB's, I wish you enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine. The only problem I found with BBB's are you can't have just one. A fine monticristi is addictive. Stay safe, and I hope you and the hat return stateside ASAP. Thank you for your...

    Question on Panama hat sizing, (Brent Black?)

    I have 2 BB's, a Roll Up Optimo and an Aficionado. The Optimo has the cotton sweatband and the Aficionado has the undyed leather. Both are 23 5/8 (60 cm). I would say the cotton is tighter (not uncomfortably so) than the leather and the leather has stretched ever so slightly in almost 9...

    Brent Black Aficionado Received November 2009. Excellent service and the quality is exquisite. This is in the mid-range of his 'premium' line. I can only imagine what the 'super premium' and 'rare treasures' must be. I would definitely order from Mr. Black again.

    anyone experience with david morgan?

    I purchased the Lightning Ridge from DM in late October 2009. No problems with service and hat arrived on time. No complaints from me about DM. I would purchase from them again.
