Art, His hat body will be like this one. 2000 wpsi. looks like a fine linen or silk. It really is hard to believe its straw. Some call this the $30,000 Montecristi Panama...
Ricardo...
The weave style is brisa. Common with that hat brand.
The Cuenca brisa hats from Ecuador that Panamabob gets us the brim edge is always back woven like a Montecristi.
I see alot of the major hat co's import Cuenca hat bodies and they sew the edge its just cheaper for them...
Ecuador Panama hats
Jon,
The Supernatural was a brand from New England area and they imported hats from Ecuador.
The hat you have on in the second picture is a standard Cuenca Panama hat from the 1950's.
Don't you love the color of these older Panama hats!!
I have a Optimo blocked in the USA by Art Fawcett that I got thru Panamabob. All of these were hand blocked by Art... I'd bet if you Pm'ed Robert your wait would not be a long one.:)
Robert Weber...Panamabob.
Now you can have a fine Montecristi and keep your arms and legs...

I started a trend in my neighborhood when I built my house I told the builder I wanted a flag pole so I could fly the American Flag and the Marine Corps flag. I was the first to do so. I just drove thru the neighborhood and I counted 7 new flag poles. Made me feel good about where I live...
Akubra is a great hat...
Ok then.
Try a Akubra Federation in grey and crease/bash it yourself.
