The Fino Fino arrived and I could not be more pleased. It is perfect! Fits great and has been impeccable blocked. I know I will enjoy this hat for many years to come. It is a Classic. Thank you all so much for all your efforts.

Don't know if you want to promote the wearing of Panama hats in the cold, but I couldn't wait until spring to "break in" my fabulous Havana fino fino!

I have been wearing the latest hat that I bought from you for several months now- (a Trilby model with an extra wide brim.) I have gotten loads of compliments on it and I have recommended you to several people who inquired about it.

In fact, on a recent trip to Egypt one of the members of my tour group complimented me on the hat and when I showed him the liner with your name on it and recommended you, much to my surprise, his wife told me that she had bought a hat from you and was happy with your product and service.

I was in St. Augustine, Fl. (the oldest city in the USA) over the weekend and they have a hat retailer there and I had the occasion to stop in and see what they had and their prices. They had a fair collection of Panamas but what was unusual was that they were of general sizes S, M, L, XL and etc. They weren't lined and they had a cloth head ban. The workmanship was good with the back weave and they were fino fino. Are you sitting down the hat he showed me was $500. I wouldn't have paid $500 for the hat. In my eyes it wasn't as nice as mine (as mentioned above).

I know I have a great hat and I can't wait until it cools off a little to wear it more often. I'll be heading to Boston, Ma. later this month and will be wearing it there. In the meantime keep the good (should be Great) work up.

Your friend,

Worth

Gentlemen:

Attached (hope you can open it OK) is a picture of one of your Panama Hats (that received many compliments by the way).. at the Telluride, Colorado Blues and Brews Festival. This was during the Sept. 12, 13, 14, 2008 weekend. The music featured was Blues Music and the "Brews" part is self explanatory. There were 10,000 people in attendance. I tried to get a shot up fairly close that shows the backdrop for the musicians. It was a lot of fun and the hat was admired by many! (Sorry I am not a better looking model, but I like the hat!)

Got my hat yesterday and wore it all day. Here is a picture of my wife and me in St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, me wearing my Super Fino Trilby that I got from you. Also, love that one and it is a perfect fit. Several gentlemen have asked me where I got it and I have=A0told them of the good service I have received from you.

Thanks a lot,

I would be pleased to record a testimonial about my Panama (Ecuador) hat. It is my favorite thing to wear. I rarely took the hat off after I received it. We went on our annual summer sail in the San Juan Islands and my hat did great. My daughter Hilary would grab the hat when she could. I think she needs one.
