The one above is a `diagonal` semi calado, the other one I have is a `multi patterned`... not sure of any finer points, but we may get an expert opinion if someone can elaborate...

I'd thought I'd post a couple of pics of my new straw by Art.

chippy said:I am wondering, is this (from post number 213) the same body/hat as the Brent Black? it is blocked slightly different, obviously, but the weave looks just the same to me? which seems kinda odd, because the Brent Black says it is custom weaved for him, get them while they last?
i dont mind this style btw, i like the extra ventilation, particularly in the summer months but it intrigues me whether its really a $500 hat or less. i dont mind saying i prefer the BB shape on this occassion

BobC said:I originally bought this very hat from Bob for far less than $500. I have since sold it, but if you're interested PM me and I will look up the price I paid.
You will get a far better price from Robert than you will from Brent Black. You may have to wait longer from Robert to get the hat for you, but he will be straight up with you.
