J.T.Marcus said:Ande1964, What a fantastic prize. That's the kind of find we dream about. You tweaked it perfectly. That color was intended for the guy who would own just one hat. I have a contemporary Temple in the same shade. By now, you've probably noticed that, in certain lighting situations, it looks black. In others it is brown. Then, in other light... Enjoy it!!! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

Here is the hat my husband got me for Christmas from Vintage Martini. It's from the 20s and it's straw. It's little snug- there's a sweatband inside that's kinda torn up, so I think I may remove that. Looks like they stored it flat, so it has a crease down the middle. Not sure if I should keep it or try to steam it out?
Here's one I picked up at the local Antique mall for $12. It has a black wool? brim with the crown made out of lace!
This one I just got at the Antique Elegance show. It's navy wool? with little studs all over and a ribbon. Sooo cute- and I got it for $35.

Texasgirl,
Thanks for sharing this beauty in this all-male thread.

My Supernatural has a 2 3\4 inch brim with the front crown at 4 1\4 and the back at 3 3\4.HarpPlayerGene said:I bet my specs are the same as your Supernatural Panama hat:
Brim: 2-1/2"
Crown: 4" at front pinch, drops to about 3-5/8" at back.
This one's gotten a little brittle over the years and is cracking at the pinch. Need to figure out a way to arrest this before it runs further. Some shaggines is great in an old straw like this but gaping holes aren't the idea.
BTW: There's a paper tag inside the sweatband which folds out ('ve stopped exposing it because it too is very brittle) which has what may be the original owner's name on it and his phone number. His four digit phone number! Could be a product of the 30s through early 50s but not probably more recent than that I imagine.
Later, Gene

You might try cloth medical tape on the inside where the split is at. i have had some luck using it, i have a newer stetson panama that I hid the split and you can not see it at all now.
