I'm pretty sure @Bill Hughes has several examples of Northwest Panama's.
This is an important point, and one that William Ramirez mentioned to me, when I purchased my first hat from PHD. It was what they call a Super Fino. (Reading Brent Black's information will teach you that terminology about hat grades varies between retailers and is subjective, rather than objective.) I wanted to get the highest grade that I could afford. However, William asked me how I was going to use it, because often, wearers will find their hat is so nice, they don't want to wear it. Also, weather is a factor, because you don't want to get it wet. When dark clouds appear on the horizon, my Super Fino comes off. William told me that he knew of a customer who ordered one of their FIno Fino hats (top of their line) and took it on a cruise. He watched it sail off his head and into the ocean on that cruise. It's sound advice to consider how you want to use your hat when thinking about your purchase.
