Unbelieveble. One of the nicest I've ever seen. Enjoy.

Just as I think I have enough hats, something like this comes along and I starting thinking again. It really is an amazing hat.

Have enough hats lol Enough hats lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol

You may only have one head, but there will never be "enough hats."

 

[Lincsong]

That's stylin'

I really like that style of panama. Let's see if I bag my lunch for a month, don't play lotto.....hmmmmmm

 

[NewMexExpat]

Wow.

What a classy hat.

 

[Cabinetman]

Not at all a negative comment - it's very neat - but is that straw green?? It's got a different cast about it, doesn't it? I'm thinking just the lighting (or shadow).

What say ye, Roger? Art? I say, "Bravo." Just curious about the color.

I think that the third picture shows the true color the best.

Maybe Roger's hat is just green with envy since he didn't name it a H Wonder or a Million and One X or something.

Modern ribbon...

Not fair, I speak to you on the telephone for two hours and you're totally holding out on me!

A Panama with a bound brim; I've never seen that and I like the way it looks. Actually, I have seen a Panama with a bound brim, just not on a fedora; Daisy has one, but it's a different type of hat.

I love the strip on the center of the ribbon and I love that color ribbon. What color would you call it?

I have a suggestion for all future Panama Hat orders, go with something other than a black ribbon. Yes, black is classic, but many vintage Panamas had more interesting ribbons.

Excellent Hat!

The ribbon color is Silver Belly...This is a very nice modern ribbon and unlike one hatter that calls all his ribbons vintage, Art Fawcett is a very honest guy...

 

[Atomic Glee]

Wow - that is one heck of a Panama! Outstanding!

 

[riccardo]

It's simply a genial idea.
Another "Art's work of art".

Sorry about that... I took the pictures without a flash but our patio has alot of green on it and I guess thats why. The color is the light tan that all Montecristi come in.

Creativity is flowing..

...from the mountains of Oregon to the Beaches of Florida.

The two of you should smash synapse together often.

 

[Panamabob]

I'm telling your wives that you are smashing synapses together. Disgusting!

 

[SheikhDaoud]

Nice is an understatement

How many wpsi's is the one you're modeling here? It's great.

I absolutely love Panamas. Because I spend a lot of time in high ultraviolet destinations (Bolivia, Middle East), they are more or less necessary for me with my pale German skin...but, hell, I just think they are the sharpest looking hats around, and best of all you can wear them with anything (although I have worn a felt fedora with khakis, even shorts, before). I am going to buy one in Ecuador when I get there in a couple of weeks and will also send it to Art for blocking and finishing.

Any views out there on a ribbon color? I love the classic black, but I am open to anything sharp and distinctive.

Is this a guys only forum? If so, pardon the peek! But that hat is....HOT!

 

[shoeshineboy]

nope...this is NOT a guy's ony forum and we encourage the ladies to look and posts thier comments about our headwear and we also encourage, you ladies, to post YOUR hats in here...

Quit hiding them in the Ladies Room.

Your presence is welcomed !!!! I am sure the other guys would agree....

I hope this helps you...

The weave count on this hat is around 500. The ribbon color is called Silverbelly. I agree Montecristi Panama hats are just great hats...:eusa_clap

 

[Daisy Buchanan]

That is a great hat, and you wear it well! The bound brim is cool. Wow, you gents all have so great taste, I wish more men would place a lid on there heads more often. A return to class would be such a breath of fresh air. I also really like the hat box that you have pictured.

 

[jamespowers]

Swellegant.

 

[Roger]

Very distinguished looking.
