Charlie: No typo. The box is made of super light weight balsa wood. It will dent easily. Not for travel.Is that a spelling “typo” on the box, Dennis?! No matter... the hats are top shelf!!

The word Direct is missing a "c."
¡Sí! Uhh, I mean "¡C!". No, wait, I think I was right the first time...Thank you, Doug! So, even in Spanish, the c IS missing?!
The box should be durable enough to withstand just one more letter, don't you think, @DRB?!
New to me Brent Black Montecristi Monte Carlo. Got this at a really good price but was a bit apprehensive. I did not know if I would like this style. Received it, put it on, looked in the bathroom mirror, and could not stop smiling.
If I count correctly it's 441 WPI ( 21 x 21).

Great hat. Really suits your face. Does the curled brim do well in a breeze?
I didn't have any problem with the breeze but it was not blowing very hard today.Does the curled brim do well in a breeze?
Hello, I introduce myself, I'm Jorge Ceme, an Ecuadorian artisan. I wanted to show you my Fino Montrecristi Panama hat, it is a fedora has 25 wpi or 23x 25 wpi. I made the hat myself, I hope you like it. I see that there are people with a lot of knowledge here. I would like to contribute with information in case someone needs it.

Kind of you to say so, contrasting colours can enhance a straw, in a way that lifts the ensemble. Later today, (Sunday) we are having lunch out with my brother's daughter, my niece, and her new husband. I'm planning to wear my Henley blazer, I shall wait to see how the weather co-operates, but hopefully it will be straw hat sunshine again.That blue just POPS. Love it.
