An Adam Panama Hat

[Ordinary Guy]

I can't believe it....

My wife just came through the door and said she had got me a gift....

She was in the thrift shop and found an Adam Straw Hat......

It has a Black Ribbon and black leather sweatband. On the sweatband are the words "Genuine Panama" in gold letters.

I felt around the sweatband and folded behind it still was the ADAM original ticket which reads:

Price

Style Color Size

T T ENVOY Bleach

No price no size..... The hat is in excellent condition and doesn't look like any wear to it at all.

I will try to get some pics tomorrow in the day light and post them in this thread.....

That's all the good news, the bad news is , it doesn't fit my noggin

I would love to have this hat but it is too small. My wife says there was another hat at this store with this one but it was all beat up and had a hole in it and the size on the bad hat was 6 3/4 . She said to her the hats looked identical and she thought maybe the guy wore one hat and got a hole in it and decided he liked it so much he bought a replacement....

So how do I figure out what size it is, I know I have read where they say don't try to size by measuring around the inside so I have no clue how to size this.....

Any help on sizing and whether this is a vintage hat or not would be appreciated.....

I can't believe 56 views and no one has heard of this hat ????

I did a search and found a thread on Adam hats and in it was a link to the Adam Hat Museum but the link only leads to:

"The server is currently unable to find the requested URL /marcus-stevo/AdamHatsOnLineMuseum/."

I was hoping that would have given my some information.... I tried searching on Google but all I can find are lofts in Dallas by the new of Adam Hats....

In the meantime since I couldn't figure out anything to do, I measured the inside as best as Possible and came up with 54 1/2cm.. So I am guessing this hat is 6 3/4.

I took some pics and all are pretty good except for the last one, it was hard to hold the tag with one hand and take the pic with the other one, so the tag pic is a bit blurry .....

Never seen one of these

I have not seen one of these before. I love Adam hats...wouldn't mind having one like that in my size.

Not sure what your question is but Adam was a hat maker for many years. Your hat is of just OK quality, nothing to write home about. A modern hat of that quality is available from Panama Bob for a song. Hope this helps.

I'd say it looks pretty nice. Hopefully you can find more information on it.
