I love that color. The next time I get to Ecuador, I'll try to sneak some photos in the warehouses...there are some old, old hats there, but not camera friendly owners.

A treasure trove of Golden Oldies!
Yes, Mr E Train, this one is from Shushan's. *They* just arrived today. Prices are reasonable but shipping is a little high and slow.
Thanks guys.

This arrived today, not sure what it is!
About 625 wpi. (if I did that right)
It's still very pliable and seems well made, definitely not a Montecristi!

That is wild, GWD. Is the brim backwoven, or sewn? Any info on the sweat?

No sweat, the brim is backwoven no stitching anywhere.

So this old friend's back out in the sun. That's OK, I'll live ...
Wow, nice optimo! Yeah, I think you'll make it through your hardships.

Color Change?
fftopic:
After wearing my new Monti every day for the last couple of months ... it seams to be getting darker in color ... more of the aged ivory look ..... which I really dig!!! Is this my imagination??? If not ... why does this happen??? Is it just like paper when it oxidizes it yellows in the sun??

Is it turning ivory all over in an even manner or is is it changing color in certain areas like the top of the crown? Mine started to take on a light toast mostly on the top of the teardrop bash. Not sure if its from sun or sweat or both.

Hey GWD, cool hat..most unusual vuelta's I've ever seen. Hope PB chimes in.
WineGuy said:
Mine seems to be changing evenly all over ... yea "light toast" is a better description ... the inside has not changed at all and is still an almost butter color. With this said it has to be the sunlight changing it ... I wonder how dark it will get??? Is yours changeing enough on top of the crown to give it a hint of two tone look??? That would be cool!!!!!

No, mine is just a slight patina around the teardrop, almost not noticeable unless I point it out.
