One hat, woven finer and finer
Choose your fineness
Same shape, same hands. The difference is time — from a four-week Fine to a Jewel that takes nearly a year at the loom. Move across the grades to see what changes.
Fine
An even, honest weave — the authentic entry to a real Montecristi. Everything a Carranza should be, in its most accessible form.
Pile
Tighter and finer — named for the village itself. The everyday hat of the people who weave them.
Manabí
A close, refined grain that catches the light — the point where the weave begins to feel like cloth.
SuperFine
Cloth-like suppleness and a near-flawless surface. Many collectors consider this the ideal balance — visibly exceptional, still made to be worn.
ExtraFine
Astonishing density — nearly half a year in a single hat. Held to the light, the grain is almost without gap.
MoMA
Museum-grade fineness — of the calibre exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. The work of a master at full stretch.
Jewel
The finest ever woven — nearly a year of one master’s hands. A hat measured not in dollars but in devotion.
Click any grade above — the weeks, the description, the density and the price all update, and the price is what goes to the cart.
