Really great 1940’s Panama hat. It is a nice creamy beige with a pale yellow hue. Not white. It has a round crown with a deep u at the bottom between crown and brim. The brim is turned down all around. I do not know if this is the supposed shape but this was kept in a hat boxsince it was bought.I would like the front brim to beflat and turned down like a fedora. Not sure it that could be done I personally not attempt it although I have seen UTube videos on this.The hat looks good as is on form but it looks too kiddish on me.
The band is 1.5 inches with the bow at back almost 5 inches and streamers that drop 5 inches below the brim.Inside has 2 combs sewn at the front. with a back elastic. Sweat band is a tan fabric with the stamp Genuine Panama Made in Ecuador , Deluxe. Size tag 22
Measurements – although size says 22 we get 21 inches on inside of band. Front frim is 3.5and back brim is 2.5, crown is about 3 inches high, Inside 7.5 X 6.5 inches and outside brim is 12 X almost 12 inches.
Condition- very good. Some slight darker color beige on inside woven straw.I would reshape by steaming slightly as it looks slightly uneven.
