Two PanamaBob Montecristis, finished by Art

[Nathan Flowers]

I got these two hats from PanamaBob, then had Art Fawcett finish them for me. They are very reasonably priced hats, right at $100 each, once completely finished. The hats are of a rather coarse weave, not like the fino I have, and Andykev has.

This smaller one I gave to my good friend Jeremy here. It has a lower crown, smaller brim, and a black ribbon.

This one I gave to my Dad. He and I wear the same size, but he is a long oval, where I am a regular oval. His long oval shape gives the brim a good swoop. It has a large crown, big brim, and navy blue ribbon.

Thanks again to Art and Robert for these great hats. I think they turned out really well, and both of them were very pleased to have them.

For way under $100, they just look great and great on them. Does your friend and father know what a deal they are wearing?

[Nathan Flowers]

Yeah, I tried to impart that to them. They were both really glad to have them.

Wow! the hats look great. Nice job Art and PanamaBob

Is that $100 for both hats including the blocking or is it $100 per hat body, plus blocking?

 

[Nathan Flowers]

It was right at $100 for each hat and blocking, but the hats close to the $20 variety Robert was getting us a while back.

Montecristis are somewhat like a traded commodity, and are subject to changes in prices almost daily, so I suggest talking to Robert and Art to discuss prices.

Zohar, Robert, and Art,

Those hats look great! Good job, all the way around, everyone. Very classy, and what a price!

Can you 'splain this for the new guy? What were they like before they were "finished", and what, ezzactly, does "finished" mean?

Thanks!

Hey Canadave,

check out this thread...it might shed a little light on your question.

The hats were basically just raw hat-bodies that had yet to be blocked into shape and finished with ribbon and sweatbands etc.
