Is the hat pictured in the first photo below a Cuenca or a Montecristi? Please feel free to vote and leave your thoughts.

Cuenca all the way. No doubt!!!
A nice Cuenca hat $15.00 to $20.00 street value.
Pay my air fare and I will bring back a few 100! Same Quality or even better. :cheers1: Root Beer

Weave looks too open (coarse, big?) for a Montecristi. My eyes don't work very well, but at the crown, it appears that I can see the lines of weave, so that would be maybe 12-15 per linear inch?

I am not too hot on the block of the hat. It is surely a cuenca. Not only by the block but the weave is not very fine and the edge looks more cuenca than montecristi that is for sure.

Is this a test of a certain vendor's Cuenca labelled or described as a Monti?
The photo looks a little degraded but it looks course enough
to not be a Monti...
Do tell...

Cuenca hat. You can tell by the larger rings of paja out around the brim edge. Also, around the rosetta.
The angry young man who listed the hat on ebay wouldn't provide any more photos. The other's he listed were cropped nicely to only show certain parts of the hat.
Yes, James Lock and Co. is being swindled or they lie. They know the hats aren't real so for sure they are lying now... and I'll go to court if they think I am slandering them.
