7 5/8 Panama

Hey folks, I have this on eBay, but wanted to be sure you all saw it.

wish to heck it wasn't loose on me, but i know some of you have king-sized crania.

If you like it and it's loose, why not have a sweat band put in?

It will shrink a whole size in summer going on my own long experience of Panamas.

If I were better with a needle and thread, I'd give it a whirl, but then it would need a ribbon, which would go under the lanyard, and I'm not sure: do panamas have sweats normally? I didn't want to bastardize a pristine hat just so I could wear it.

if it weren't resting upon my ears, cookie, I'd try to shrink it into familiarity.
