Similar a Montecristi weave and many times called a "Montecristi hat" and sold as such in the open market, but it actually isn't. It is made in Cuenca Ecuador so it is a genuine "Panama hat" but not a "Montecristi Panama hat" since it was not made in the city of Montecristi.
This Cuenca version of the "Montecristi hat" goes through the normal treatments of a Cuenca hat. The weave pattern is looser and if you hold it to the sun you will see it is a more open weave, not as air tight as a Montecristi hat. To the untrained eye it does look a lot like a Montecristi hat and in many ways even the coloration can be very similar. That doesn't make it a bad hat, it just makes it a Cuenca hat. They have their upside in price!
Cuenca Grade 2 - Is similar to a Sub Fino Montecristi hat grade.The Classic Trilby Panama hat is similar to the classic fedora, but not! If it had a taller crown it could be a Western model.
blocked in a standard oval.;The standard crown height of the Trilby model is 4.75"; measuring from the brim to the top of the point on the side of the hat.
The back of the crown is the same as the front, measuring 3.75" (at the point of the pinch), creating a level appearance.
Snap brim on the front causing the brim to tip downward slightly and upward in the back just a little.
Almost a Stingy Brim: Just a bit smaller then our standard brim. Does offer some shade protection but more often selected for the style. Some people just look great in short brims!
Each Panama hat comes with one hat band of your choice, but you may want to include a few extra hat bands- a quick way to change the personality of your Panama hat!
Each and every Panama hat we sell is handmade right here in Ecuador, so no two hats are exactly alike.
