I have a Montecristi Superfino (1500 - 1700 wpi) that I absolutely love, and a couple of the Cuenco's for daily waer that have lasted for a year now and are holding up really well.
Man, this is one gorgeous hat, every bit the work of art that Brent makes them out to be. We spoke on the phone a few times, he's a very affable guy and I'm very pleased with the whole experience. The fit's perfect, and even though I've only had it a couple of days I've already gotten five or six compliments from total strangers. If you're looking for a Panama hat, Brent's the man!
