Nice idea for a warm weather Indy, but I'm not so into the hemp material for this. It looks kinda cheap. I'd rather have an Indy-styled Panama that's actually woven by hand.

Not bad! That's the same material Peters Brothers uses for their straw Indy, and they wear like iron.

It's the same material the U. S. Navy uses to make rope to hold ships at the dock, so it will more than likely hold up to anything YOU can throw at it.

I've worn my PB prototype made from that material since 2005, and that hemp is amazingly comfortable and strong, and I don't think they look at that bad at all myself. ;)

Regards! Michaelson
