Buying a Panama hat in BA?

[qqqqqq]

Hello. I'm an American who's been in Buenos Aires for a few weeks now, planning to stay perhaps a few more months. So far I've really had no issues in adjusting, except my search for a Panama hat has not yet been fruitful. There are probably more specific websites dealing with issues of shopping, but I've been browsing this forum for a while, and I've found much of the advice to be extremely helpful, so I thought I'd give it a try. So can anyone recommend a place to get decent, but not overly expensive, sombrero montecristi? Thanks in advance for any help!
