Any guess as to its age? Also what is Paul's Hat Works specs for extra fino in terms of w.p.s.i.?

Great qs. As far as age I would say it's newer since theres No yellowing or typical age related issues, the straw is very pliable and fresh looking if that's any help.
As far as wpi goes i am Not sure what Pauls lists weave count for their extra fino but I suppose one could contact them directly.
Thanks
