Dobbs cross country - anybody get the measurements?
They actually are fairly high resolution photos. If you copy them you can enlarge to fill the screen and they stay fairly sharp.Tom-n-Perris said:I was also one of those last minute snipers hopping to get this Montecristi.I was also thinking that I could snag this Panama for a good price. I was unlucky in my bidding as I did not put enough down on my snipe.
Well there goes my plan to re-block a Montecristi Panama Hat. :rage:
I agree with Scott as to the condition of the hat and as to what the finale wpi count would end up at. But I did notice that the Montecristi had at least five vueltas that I could see from the pictures provided by the seller. It would have been nice if the seller had a picture of the inside of the crown so that one could really see what you might be purchasing.
I did early in the listing, I seem to recall it being about a 7 with 5-3/8 crown.Lefty said:Dobbs cross country - anybody get the measurements?

Of course if they are out of focus(usually) they don't improve as they grow.Tom-n-Perris said:Rik, thanks for the tip I will do that next time I see good Panama on the Bay that I am unsure of.![]()
Didn't get the measurements, but DID get the hat! Seemed worth the gamble. If it pans out too small, look for it in your friendly neighborhood FL Classifieds section!Lefty said:Dobbs cross country - anybody get the measurements?

Got it! Will post photos when it arrives. I have been stalking it for a week, in fact, this seller had another one that sold with a BIN for $79.00...unfortunately, I missed that one.Lefty said:

ScottF said:...but fortunately for meThe seller told me that the two hats are about the same size, so you should be okay if you were hoping for a 7 1/4
It turned out to be very nice, almost perfect - Stetson Company Store hat and has this $10 price tag under the sweatband:

fedorafiend said:Congratulations, and thank you for the heads up. 7 1/4 is what I'm hoping for and I am really looking forward to this one. Any ideas on the weaves per square inch of your hat?
I too was bidding on this hat, was the next to last bid. I wanted it real bad and can't believe so many knowledgeable bidders bore in on a "woman's" hat! This hat could well be quite the gem and possibly a 1000+ weave count.rlk said:A good scan would be terrific. The company was around when the Canal was built and probably supplied some of the workers hats.
Lefty said:Did I miss the announcement that this was incredible panama week? Between the 3 shown here and that new Brent Black, January is a good month for straws.
