Panama Hats Direct Hi, You ever love a hat? I do; you need a hat to protect from the sun, to stay cool on hot days, and most all to look good. Panama Hats Direct makes it possible to own truly amazing high quality hats. I own several and Panama Hats Direct purchasing process is amazing, you are informed of each step in the creation of your hat, they answer your questions and follow up after you receive your hat to make sure you are satisfied. The skill to weave and time required to produce quality Panama Hats like the ones Panama Hats Direct offers will likely someday disappear. Spring, summer or fall , a sharp looking Panama hat always brings a smile to my face. We are lucky to have the opportunity to own a truly quality hat, grab one from Panama Hats Direct, you will be happy you did. James from US Gulf Coast.

Finest quality hats at the fairest price, considering all the hand labor that goes into them. This is our 2nd Panama hat, with the fine weave, $300+, but worth every penny. First hat is decades old and showing it's age, so a new one was ordered. Imagine our surprise at the upgrades over the years: now with a liner and protector to keep the straw from damage, exact diameter you need, made to order in every way, truly a bespoke product, you won't be disappointed in the quality. Color us Highly Satisfied! Cheryl and Charles

Panama Hats Direct have a strong customer focus. They remain in contact during the hat creation process, sending pictures as stages are completed. The hat is high quality, and looks like it will last for years.

This has been one of the very best online purchases I've ever made. The order entry process was both comprehensive and intuitive. Communication was excellent from order confirmation through all steps of manufacturing and delivery. The finished product is a "work of art" and far too nice for an old bloke like me.

STRONGLY RECOMMENDED This is my second Panama hat from Panama Hats Direct. The first one was 10 years ago and was one of the inexpensive Cuenca models; inexpensive, but nice. This time I ordered a Fino Fino quality Havana with a shorter 2.6"-2.9" brim. Casey and his staff were responsive to my questions and provided two in-progress photographs of the hat in it's final stages of weaving. The Fino-Fino is tightly woven and very light, and comes with a leather sweat band and a liner; though, I might remove the liner .... Although expensive at around $300, I think the hat is worth every penny. It is autumn in California now and I cannot wait for summer to arrive so I can wear it. I did not receive notice that the hat shipped, and recommend PHD do so in the future. However, I received the hat in a well-constructed and sturdy cardboard box that had a crown-holder so the hat did not shuttle around during shipping. I just might buy another one ...... -- GHP in San Jose
