Experience with Panama Hat Cuenca from Panama Hats DirectPROS: Valuable information on the web, reliable process of ordering and deliveryCONS: I’d have expected a hat to retain its quality, even when on the go. |
On the Internet there are a lot of possibilities of where to buy a hat. I chose www.panamahatsdirect.com. Although their website does not look interesting at first glance, here you will learn about the origin, production patterns and differences in the processing of just about everything. I bought two hats here in the less expensive line Cuenca, about $ 50 a piece. The order was executed perfectly, the goods were delivered on time and properly packaged. Communication with the seller was also very good.
I am sorry to say, that after a months expedition in the African wilderness, the quality of this Panama hat had me unconvinced, After a few days the cloth tape had lifted off and was slipping out of the hat. That was quite unpleasant. When the hat was wet (near the waterfalls, or when it fell into the river) some dry stalks burst out at the bend. Thereafter, the hat was never so flexible and soft.
I have no experience with an exclusive range of hats from Montecristi, maybe these are processed with higher quality.
Cuenca Versus Montecristi
Yes that hat is a Cuenca hat and is not at all the same as the high end Montecristi hats. See the video on that on the site at: http://panamahatsdirect.com/subnav/cuenca-hats-vs-montecristi-hats.htm

The Cuenca line is clearly advertised as less expensive and of lower quality but suitable for most wear. They sell others which cost hundreds of dollars.

I may be mistaken but I believe they will provide you with their own measuring tape so you cannot go wrong.
