I’m taking a trip to Egypt this summer and figured I buy a hat there as straw hats don’t travel well. I was told I should try a panama travel hat. I searched around and ended up getting this guy’s least expensive classic panama travel hat and let me tell you it is absolutely exquisite. I am really blown away. His cheapest hat ain’t cheap, but now I now why, I got a bargain! Its like silk feels on your skin. I’ll have it for a lifetime.
You should check out his website and see all the cool things he has and what he is doing to preserve the art and pay the artisans who have been doing this for generations so it doesn’t become a lost art. I am so glad I got MY hat from him for a whole host of reasons and will proudly wear my Brent Black Panama!
