Please measure your head to be sure the hat will fit. There are no returns!

This hat is a cross between a Panama hat and a fedora! Very unique in style and made of all natural straw fiber with a nylon fabric ribbon surrounding the crown. Label reads "Know, Fifth Avenue". Stamped on the interior rim in gold is "Lamson Bros. Toledo, Ohio". Lamson's department store was a staple in my hometown of Toledo. My mother used to shop there all the time! Size label reads "Designed to fit a 22 head size" retailer. There is still the original store tag attached as shown in the last photo. It reads "Style 1524, Size 22".

The interior circumference measures 21".
