"Simon Espinal has woven many fine hats over the years. Now 47 years
old, he's been weaving Panamas ever since he was a boy. He was taught by
his father, Senovio, who was regarded as one of the greatest hat weavers
in Montecristi in his time. The old men in the village, and the longtime
hat dealers in Montecristi, generally believe that the title has passed
to Simon, although Simon himself is far too modest to claim it."

Lovely story about a great masterpiece.  Via rone.

Share and enjoy,
