No, you're not acronym challenged, Max. I've been here for ~10 years and I've never seen 'PHD' either.
Lol!Hmmm. I learned the acronym here at the Lounge. Maybe I’m hanging out in the seedier hat threads.

Not to my knowledge Bill. The current Winchester offering is decidedly more black than cherry. You might be able find a hatter that has a few of the older production hat bodies lying around. Good luck with your search.Is it possible to get a black cherry thats not almost completely black?

Gotta be one of my Panamas. I have a feather lite Optima that I wear and sometimes forget it is there as it is so light. The last time I went to Cuba I only took a baseball cap. Bought a woven banana leaf trilby that was the hottest most uncomfortable thing I have ever placed on my head. Luckily it only cost me $2....that should have been my first clue.What hat would you wear on an island in the tropics?

Yes, rain is a problem. Although my experience in Cuba was the rain was short and sharp and I would duck into a bar and drink rum til it abated.I thought of a Panama. I have a Cuenca from VS but I don’t think it is meant for the rain.

Nice Sunbody. I tried one last Summer and while it seemed indestructible, I am thinking something a little lighter may be in order.I'd wear a Sunbody.
Heavier, warmer, and more "rough around the edges" than a traditional Panama/straw hat, but it provides better sun protection and you wouldn't have to worry about it getting wet if you got caught in a sudden tropical rainstorm. I linked to the model/style I got, but they have a decent variety of styles to choose from. It's advertised as having a 2-1/2" wide brim, but mine is 2-3/4". And if the black band isn't to your liking you can easily change it:
