A gentleman\'s Panama Hat sized 7 1/4 Long Oval.
Fashioned of a golden yellow colored tightly woven straw
with the accent of a coco-color brown pleated 2\" fabric band
around the outer crown, and a genuine leather
sweat band around the inside.
The hat is stamped by the artisan/manufacturer\'s seal:
\"Imported - Genuine Panama Hand Woven - From
South America.\"
It was also later stamped in a perforated stencil
initials - apparently those of the onetime owner - W. J. R.The hat has a size tag in the inner leather sweat band which reads
7 1/4 and a separate tag indicating it as a Long Oval - as well as the custom small
ribbon tied to indicate the inside back.The inside opening of this hat measures 8\" across from
front to back and 6 1/2\" from side to side.The brim is 2 3/4\" deep.
It measures 4 1/2\" high at the front peak of the crown
and 3 3/4\" at the back peak.
It has been professionally blocked and is not misshapen
or creased in any way.This hat is in great shape! Just in time for high-summer
activities.The only imperfection I detect whatsoever in a tiny
hat-maker\'s pencil mark of approximately 1/2\"
at one place on the inside along one side of the sweat band .
