We call her Devil Dog though right now she s Sleeping Puppy after a devilish morning Full scale training starts next week Panamas aren t hard to find and they range from cheap to way expensive I got most of my high end ones at one of the few makers of Panama hats in the US Paul s Hats in San Francisco I also have a nice Western style panama from Montecristi in Santa Fe We re talking hats that start in the several hundred dollar range and go up from there Paul s top end Panama goes for 30 000 And the straw weave is as fine as the best linen I think it s mostly a show off piece he s had it for a decade But keep in mind that Panamas aren t all that robust you don t want to spend the money on an expensive Panama for casual wear You can find inexpensive ones pretty much anywhere a Google search for inexpensive Panama hat can be fruitful
