For me its a huge negative in durability for Panama to not like the rain, and for it to crack overtime when touched or handled in pressure places such as at the point of the crown. For a fashion hat in certain climates, I could see why this wouldn't be that big of a deal. But I wear my hats for outdoors and for fashion both, and want them to look good and be able to take a beating if I need to go through a rainstorm in them, if I need them for sun protection, and if I need to shove through dense brush in them. I have very specific needs, but this is why Palm Straw hats are my favorite hats. They can look very beautiful and have a unique natural weave, aren't always as dressy as a panama depending on the context and the hat itself, but they can literally be doused in water, in a rainstorm, and go through a beating as work hats either for cowboys and ranch hands or for those who work and enjoy the outdoors without becoming damaged.
Terrific video and discussion, Alex! Trying to get my hands on one, do you know when @Goorin Bros. might have the Hartman and the Montecarlo back in stock??
I do have one, an Imperia from Mayser, I liked the airholes as I get warm very easily, and I wore it a lot this summer. Would not mind getting some other model as well.
I love mine even though im not an older man. Women seem to like it or they give me dirty looks. Its a powerful and controversial hat and you will get haters and lovers for wearing it imo.

Great video! Any suggestions for white hats and discoloration on the inner band from sweat?

Cool dude!
Hey alex! What was the first hat you had on? Love it.
The Montecarlo isn't on the website anymore! Is it sold out?
love it...❤❤❤❤❤
I like the 3 inch fedora what are the prices
What are the value proposition you can put ahead in your copywritting for this product
Great video! Thanks Alex!
What is the Panama that you are wearing ? It has a flatter wider brim I’m looking for !
Can't find the hat featured Montecarlo. I like the trim, but seems they don't have any in stock.
What’s the name of the hat your holding in your hand?
Why not in the Philippines. We have straw buntal hats, buntal, fine Raffia hats 6x4x5
Wow! An investment that doesn't go up in value!
I'm selling my house and cornering the straw hat market asap!
