what a great hat company! I really enjoyed getting a couple hats from these folks. After I placed my order I received regular emails, with pictures, of my actual hats being completed. The updates gave a real sense of working with artisans and not some giant faceless corporation. The hats were done within a few days and arrived within a couple weeks, in a sturdy box with a cardboard form to keep their shape. The sweatbands and hatbands were very well attached and the fit was exactly as I had ordered, using the company's easy-to-use hat-fitting tape you can print on any computer printer. If you really want a hat that fits your exact size head, these folks are a great way to go.

Make sure who you are dealing with Just a note to let you know that Casey Dalzell with "Panama Hats Direct is a joy to deal with and a truly honest person. I own over thirty hats and will not deal with any other company or person for my panama's. A word of caution, there are others trying to make you believe they are the "Panama Hat Direct Co." by misspelling the name and using it as theirs or by using the words in front of their Mall Company. DON'T BE FOOLED. Casey is a honorable man, his prices are very fair and he treats the artisans and customers honestly. Truly none better.

Great hats Great hats; I've now had three with one lost and one worn out (which was a cheaper version). Now enjoying a Fedora fine weave with extra brim; looks cool with excellent sun protection. One order was slow to ship but response to my query was good. All delivered in useful packaging which owner should keep for travelling if not wearing. Enjoy.

Classic Fedora Montecristi Fino Fino Just got my Classic Fedora Montecristi Fino Fino. Just excellent and worth the wait while they made it. It is my first Panama hat, so I did my research on quality differences, prices, terms used, and companies. All my research led me to Panama Hats Direct. I must have exchanged 5-6 emails with the Manager, William. He was always a gentleman and answered the questions in detail. The measuring process is accurate, so follow their instructions. Highly recommend this company and their hats.

Beautiful Panama Hats. Buying this hat was an absolute joy. Panama Hats Direct have kept me informed at every stage with updates and photographs. The process has taken a surprisingly short amount of time. Most important of all, my new and first Panama is beautifully made, a proper work of art as far as I’m concerned. I am pleased to join the list of five star reviews.
