Take time too to examine the other Panama hats in the Brent Black Montecristi collection, including The Montecristi Aficionado and The Montecristi Classic. The fineness of the weave pretty much sets the price when it comes to Panama straw, so Panama hats with the same style but with different numbers of rows of weave per square inch will come in at very different prices.
Borsalino has an impressive selection of hand woven hats, with The Vented Montecristi Panama certainly coming in at a gasp-worthy first. There's The Panama Fino, a snap brimmed Ecuadoran hat for men. It's blocked to perfection by the Italian master hatters then finished with a tan grosgrain band and bow featuring the Borsalino monogram. As if that's not quite enough perfection, Borsalino's offering another handwoven Panama dress hat they call The Turndown (due to the brim that turns down slightly) and they've trimmed this with a gosgrain ribbon in a luscious deep chocolate brown. It's not just the guys who get lucky with Borsalino: women's Panama hats from the maestro milliners include The Andrea, an exquisitely woven ladies hat, all supple elegance with broad ribbon and bow, and The Francesca sun hat, a broad-brimmed, face-framing creation.
The Christys' Natural, a Grade 3 safari, is the lowest priced Christys' Panama hat that we offer. Available in Natural (naturally!), its got a stylish striped band and is vented. If you're looking for a slightly larger brim, The Broad Brim Safari comes in at 3 sun-shading inches and is woven from Grade 8 Panama, then treated with Weatherall for long-lasting protection. The Outback II is the perfect men's hat for adventurers, in a natural Grade 8 Panama with vents at the sides for cooling and grosgrain trim for good looks. More great looks can be had with The Christys' Elegante, a finely woven bleached safari made from Grade 20 Panama straw, and with the classically shaped Gambler, authentically trimmed right to the colorful ribbon in the hat band.
Here's one for you -- a multi-toned Panama! Oh, yeah, Makins just went right ahead and created this pinch front fedora, called it The Houston, and then finished it with a textured tone-on-tone sewn leather braid. This is in addition to their all-time best selling Panama hat, The Panama Pinch Front Porkpie II, which you can get in Caramel With Black Dots or in Black With Caramel Dots. It's not just Makins that gets all colorful when it comes to Panama hats. Bailey Hats offers The Albert, a Panama straw hat from the "Panama Checks" line of their upbeat Signature Collection. Love the very stingy brim with contrast bound edge -- and it comes in Rust or Lime.
Did you think I'd forget The Lynnville Panama from Colonel Littleton? How could I when it's the Colonel's favorite? (He named it for his home town.) Tightly woven, this western style hat offers a classic pinched front oval crown, leather trim and a leather sweatband for comfort and fit. And no, I haven't forgotten the only panama hat for men that could be possibly be called The Big Brim Gambler. From Scala, this Grade 3 Panama casts shade to the tune of 3 3/4 inches! Buy The Big Brim Gambler and gather your friends round to sit in the shade.
