I read somewhere on the net that brown/red spots are usual on Monecristis, but any idea what causes them? Is it the sulphur? Thanks for any thoughts...

Semi-Calado`s they are, and I am sure PB can sort you out. Diagonal or patterned weave is the choice you will have to make...;)

10-4 daizawaguy. I've been in touch with Robert via PMs and email. He's a busy guy and hopefully we can make a tel-con to speed things up.

I really like the look of the diagonal I inquired about. A right handsome look.

My new Montecristi Caballero from Panama Bob's eBay offerings. I ordered it on Wednesday and the postman brought it today.
There are still several more listed from this batch. I wasn't sure if I could post the link since it's still a live auction/Buy It Now.

I put it on and the brim went crazy. It stood straight up in the front and fell flat on the sides. I bit of gentle coaxing with a little steam and it decided to behave. I love it!

EDIT: Ignore the Montecristi comment. I misunderstood the listing. See posts below for description. Oops.

Don't know is this is a true Montecristi or not. I'll let the experts weigh in. The hat does have a nice feel to it.
