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 company, great product This is the second hat I've purchased from PanamaHats Direct. These are the genuine article- habdmade in the traditional manner. They are not inexpensive, but sales are frequent. There is some lag time from order to shipping to recipte of the product. Once ordered, they have to finish the hat- install the sweatband and hatband, finish shaping, etc. They also bulk ship from Ecuador to the US, to simply the customs process. Once in the US, the hats are sent to the individual customers. So, expect it to take 2-4 weeks ti recieved your hat. Service is first rate, and communication is excellent

Great quality hats !!! This is my 2nd hat from Panama Hats… This is my 2nd hat from Panama Hats Direct, and I love both !!! They are excellent quality, beautifully woven, and better than the other 2 Panama hats I own. Great to work with, and worth the wait to get this level of craftsmanship !!! Stephen Meade

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.

Very satisfied customer I just received my new hat and I am very satisfied with my purchase. With regard to the seller, I have rarely met such good service to clients even though I have made purchases in different countries, your interest in keeping the client informed of every detail of your order is first class, hoping to continue being your client in the future.
