Half and half straw workwear fedora

Now on eBay!  LINK

This is a really unusual hat.  The crown is made out of a fine weave straw with ventilation.  It looks like it was woven in flat sheets on a loom as opposed to traditional panama weaving, however.  It is cut and stitched in four panels to form the crown.  The are two ventilation grommets in either side of the crown.  It is blocked with a teardrop crease.  The brim is heavy canvas, spiral stitched for added rigidity, with a bound edge.  The sweatband is fabric. Size: 6-3/4Brim Width: 2-3/4″Ribbon Width: 1-1/8″    Photobucket
