If you're searching for a wide brim hand weave, we've got it in the stunning Aficionado Panama. As a matter of fact, we even offer its twin--well, to the untrained eye it looks identical, but actually the weave of the handwoven Montecristi Aficionado is not quite as fine as its more expensive counterpart. Quite a conundrum, eh? Well, let me toss another hat your way--The Optimo, a panama hat from none other than The Panama Hat Company. This hat's woven in Ecuador, where they call it 'the Natural'.
Here's an easy choice to make: a delicious hat from Makins in caramel, The Panama Pinch Front Porkpie II, one of their all-time best selling men's hat. If you'd like to mix it up a bit, why not look at the rest of the porkpies? Makins uses two-tone gold and natural in the Porkpie I, but goes for a darker look with the III, in a handsome plaid mix of black, grey and straw. With The Panama Pinch Front Porkpie IV, Makins keeps it all black, then adds sprinkles of light with caramel dots and matching grosgrain trim. I hate to see grown men cry when they buy, but there is another Makins hat, you know. It's a fedora, and its done up in a striking weave in golden rami straw.
If you're anything like me, your hats take a beating when you flee the cold. Crushable raffia straw hats, like this The Tropic Leisure from Scala, can be rolled up, jumped on and packed, then still look great when you put them on. With touches like the elasticized sweatband in their gambler hat, The South Seas, and a wide variety of styles (The Jamaican is a classic Panama hat), Scala knows what you want and Scala delivers.
Not to be ignored, Milano gallops into the straw hat picture with dress western cowboy hats for men. They've got El Jefe (which means "The Boss"), The Riviera (that's the hat for the rancher with almost everything), The Straw Casablanca (a western hat just the right side of perfection) and The Cowboy (named thusly to prove its western authenticity, or simply because they ran out of names).
Forget the postcard. Send me a coconut.
