Find me a panama

[Jerekson]

Alright, I'm not usually someone that changes their clothing becuase of temperature.

Every summer for the past ten years I have worn some sort of heavy felt hat and enjoyed every moment of it.

HOWEVER, as my hat collection is increasing, I'm finding that I need some sort of panama hat. And with summer well on it's way, there's no better time than now to get one, right? I figured I would try a light hat in the heat and see how I like it.

I need your guys' help.

Find me a panama fedora for under $100. I like the bleached white look.

Preferable specs...2 1/2 - 3 in. brim. High, untapered or little tapered crown. Snap brim.

That's all I need...thanks in advance to anyone willing to assist me!

Nice lid!

Which model is that, Feraud? And, who blocked it?

 

[Stoney]

Uh yeah, Feraud.. It looks great and I want one too...Pleeeeese:cry:

Feraud, which hat is that...and how much did it cost?

That's pretty much the hat I was thinking of when I decided to go for a panama job.

let me chime in...

what is the weave count on yours, so we have an idea which one to order.

 

[Feraud]

It is a Classic C-crown. I begged Panamabob to send me anything he had available.

 

[Stoney]

Ok,

So I counted the weaves in Feraud's picture over what I guessed to be a 1 inch line and came up with 17. If you square that then..... 289 weaves per sq inch.

My guess is 300 weaves/sq inch average.

Anyone else want to try that for the sake of comparison?

You bet...Panama Bob is the place to go. Much better than Miller hats and they are real Panamas! You can get some nice Quencas for under $100...KC

You can get a 300 wpsi Montecristi from PanamaBob for right at $100. Can't beat that with a stick. The Cuencas are even less expensive.

That is a Rio Plata (Mouse (not moose!) River in Ecuador) block.
