    Optimo Block... The same as everyone else's. Normal crown heights are 4 to 4 1/8 inch before blocking. Brims range from 2.5 to 3 inches. If you have specific need he can quote a price and do his best to get the length or height exact. http://www.panamas.biz/

    Hemingway Jones joins GQ... Mr.Jones, Your Montecristi is a typical hat body that Panamabob can get for us. The block by Art Fawcett is a 1940's with the crown taller in the front than the rear. I'd say you got the perfect hat for your features and it will only look better with time... :D...

    Summer in Panama

    My size.. Great looking hat... The hat is a Cuenca Panama and yes its very old. The straw has taken on the great honey color of aged straw. I love the patina these hats take on over time. One tip on older straw hats. Take it into the bathroom and block the bottom of the door and steam it...

    hard or soft straw preferences
