Call it the bee’s knees of travel hats – the finest foldable Montecristi I make, and a quietly self-indulgent one at that. Drive a Rolls-Royce and the whole street knows it is a Rolls; wear this hat and all anyone registers is the most beautiful Panama they have ever laid eyes on. You will hear nice hat constantly – and every so often someone worth knowing will fix a knowing eye on the brim and ask, almost reverently, A Montecristi? It rolls up for the journey and unrolls to perfection.
