Oh no....this is a Cody James Palm Leaf straw hat.
Okay, I see...well...I can live with a super stiff brim. Probably why this one has a bound edge. Keep that sharpness under wraps...lol
I think I may raise the crown about 1/2 an inch tonight. It's gotta sit deeper on my head if I'm to keep it...
I had to add some padding to the sweatband around the forehead area, this hat is REALLY hard!
Like...stiff as a board! I was honestly expecting SOME flexibility in the straw, but as it is...I could take it off and wing it like a frisbee and it might embed itself in the wall.

I don't believe this one is coated in plastic though I've seen a video where one was and the narrator used a HEAT GUN to soften the hat. First thing that ran thru my head was "Geez that's gotta...
Great information, thank you!
I had one of those "Tourist Souvenir" straw hats when I was a kid. Sold it when I got married for $20 amazingly enough at a pawn shop! Guess it wasn't as cheap and worthless as I thought. Ah well...
