I managed a few more photos. The straw seems so delicate!

There is no writing on with side of the brown leather. I did find a couple of tags under the netting - just numbers.

This person lives close to Texas Instruments (my workplace) and I was able to see the hat in person. Now I have another boater. The straw is pretty awesome but the bow was shabby looking. I decided to replace the bow.
