    Panama Hat Thread

    Hello. Having overcome the disadvantages of certain supplies, I present new colors. According to our tests, we could dye without problems straw for a grade 25 hat with the recipe we developed, maybe even fino.

    Panama Hat Thread

    Hello everyone. I bring you some information. If you look at this hat, the first thing you will think is that it is a Cuenca hat. It meets certain conditions; the star at the top of the crown; it does not have 6 rings, and this dyed. But these are generalities; we are not talking about explicit...

    You don't need to glue or sew the hatband; simply having it fit the shape crown of the hat is enough. The pressure will keep the hatband from coming loose off easily. The pugaree hat bands are a better option. I don't know how Panama hat direct hatbands work. But from the comments on the forum...

    They glue on the hatbands. These can also be interchangeable and slipped like this hat.

    Hello everyone. I am here to share some information that some of you may find interesting. Many sellers offer the Subfino hat as Montecristi; some be Montecristis, some will not; I am not talking of versions or copies made in Peru, Colombia, Bolivia, Mexico or Cuenca. A Montecristi hat has...

    I can recommend a genuine Montecristi hat of 13-15 grades, they don't usually have a very high price depending on where you buy them, but it should be in natural color and bleached with sulfur. The hats that suffer serious damage with water are Cuenca hats with a peroxide treatment for...

    Hello, everyone I want to share with you a new that I consider important. For some time I have received questions about Panama hats in colors, my answer was simple: I work with Montecristi hats, only Cuenca hats are made in different colors. For some it was a disappointing answer, but at a...

    Greetings from Pile, Ecuador. The situation is very complicated for everyone, I hope everyone is well. The weavers of Pile do not stop weaving, I went to pick up some orders and wanted to share these photos. I wish you all the best, peace. Excuse my haircut.

    Hello I understand your point of view, but that will also depend on the ''Panama hat'' that you buy, I usually see those problems in the tissues in Cuenca. I have seen tourists buying woven hats in Cuenca, the straw generally has a treatment of peroxide and other chemicals, this makes the hats...

    From my point of view there are several aspects that contribute to the blocked having these defects. Firstly, it could be the aluminium block and the pressure of the press, they are not originally designed to block straw, the pressure needed for the straw cannot be optimally regulated. Although...

    The most exclusive within the panama hats is not the 60 grade hat, the hats with letters is the most difficult to get, there is only one person in all Ecuador that makes them, at least in quality we all want. It is difficult to get an order from her, she is always busy. The only way is to go and...

    Hello, thank you. I was looking for information to make them in collaboration with a local artisan, maybe a scheme or something similar, because I haven't found anything about it. But I could ask for a few blocks as an example and they will serve as a guide to do the rest. I've seen those...

    Hello, I work with Panama hats, I have consulted within my country and there is no one who makes blocks for hats, I usually do this process in machines but with this pandemic I would not like to depend on renting these machines. Does anyone have any books or information about the dimensions of a...

    Most important is a good weave No matter if it is from Pile or from any other place in Montecristi, when a hat is well woven it is well woven. There is a myth that every Pile hat is good, but it all depends on the weaver, there are weavers from other communities with the level of a good Pile...

    I understand what happened to you must be a a very bad experience. I've read complaints from them but in Italian, French or Portuguese, it all boils down to communication problems and not getting your order. But these are all old complaints, they're not recent things. Many assume that it is...

    Hello, from my side I can say that they closed the post office in Ecuador, It wasn't a company that provided good service either, but these last three years were chaotic. Correos del Ecuador damaged me a couple of packages so I stopped using it as my main shipping company, the main advantage was...

    Good hat because of the amount of rings and the shape of the weave I think it's a Montecristi, I'm surprised someone else has a hat with that size crown, but that's great, I went to several places except Pile, probably some weaver did this kind of work once, My client wanted lower grades. It's...
