This is a second from a leading brand of Panama Hats in the UK.
This hat will have failed the quality control for some reason (probably lacking stiffness, discoloration or a minor tear that has been repaired with glue). It will be entirely suited for purpose as a casual or travel hat. Retails at between £37 to £129.
Sold in two options of colour (it's hard to distinguish them in the pictures). The "Natural" is the colour of normal straw, perhaps slightly lighter than you'd see in the UK. The "Cream" is an off-white colour.
Being a genuine Panama made from Toquilla Paja it will be far lighter, breathable and stylish than cheap copies made from cotton or paper (which all the cheap ones from China are). This hat will have been hand woven in Ecuador and is the genuine article - so grab yourself a bargain!
Grade A - Probably lacking stiffness, discoloration or crease.
Grade B - Minor tear that has been repaired with glue, discoloration and or crease.
Grade C - More suited as a casual hat that can be worn to offer sun protection. More noticeable repairs / defects.
We cannot give details of the specific issue with any particular hat or send individual pictures.
These Panama Hats are non rollable as may have re-enforced crown with silicon.
