I purchased this Panama retro Fedora and was quite pleased with the quality of the hat. It has a nice tight weave with medium grain fibers that allow for excellent brim shaping. Instructions on how to shape the brim to your liking can be found on Google. My hat arrived with a 360 degree upturned brim that was not to my liking. The hat, however, is an excellent buy for the money and looks very sharp.
This hat was on backorder for what seemed like ages! I canceled my order because I needed it for summer. I got a phone call a few weeks ago from a customer service representative and she said the item was back in stock in case I was still interested. I bought it and received it about a week ago, it is a real gem for the price. Will stash it away for next summers golf outings. Sure is nice to know that my patronage is appreciated
Definitely worth the wait! This hat is perfect for everything!!
