We offer our customers only the best, so you can order Montecristi hats from grades 28-40 from us. That means 28 to 40 fibers per inch. However, online only up to 34 can be ordered and from 35 to 40 is only available as a special order.
Unfortunately, there are many dealers who sell Cuenca hats that go up to grade 18 as Montecristi hats , but real Montecristi hats only start at grade 16. We take great care to ensure that our Montecristi hats are real Montecristi, which is why each of our hats comes with a certificate of authenticity.
In the following picture you can see the different fineness levels of the hats.

Optional: “Hat opening” reinforced inside with flexible silicone only as a special order.

In short .
All major hat manufacturers in the world predominantly buy the finished woven hats from Montecristi, also called blanks because they are cheap, and simply shape them. Very often this process no longer takes place in Ecuador.
The term “Sombrero Montecristi” in German Montecristi Hat is a protected term.
This may therefore only be used if the hat was actually 100% made in Montecristi.
Secondly, Ecuador's hat weaving art was designated an intangible cultural heritage in 2012, due to the unique processing and weaving techniques of this legendary craft.
