Aw man, no frozen fur felt dinner for me then!

If it comes out looking like this...

...I wouldn't eat it.

Unfortunately, most of Stetson’s real Panama hats only go up to size 7 1/2 (60). Too small for me.

Brain capacity is more important. Keep telling yourself that, Brent.

There's a skull thickness factor in there, too. [emoji6]

Hello All, Does anyone out there know of a US supplier where I can purchase these hat shipping boxes with hat inserts? Thanks.

I'm sure this question has been asked before, but I'm having a hard time locating the responses.

Topic removing sweat stains on a panama hat.

I spent all day yesterday at an family get together. It was hot and steamy. I wore my Stetson Ibarra for the first time, but, unfortunately, I forgot my handkerchief and had difficulty mopping my brow. Late in the day I noticed spotty discoloration of the straw along the stitching under the ribbon. The stain is fortunately contained out of view under the ribbon, but it concerns me.

When I got home I first tried an old school method of rubbing the stitching with lemon juice. No Affect. I then used a peroxide and water mixture applied with a toothbrush with the same result.

I'm concerned because I bought the hat with the intention of it being a summer day hat. I want to nip this stain in the bud.

Any recommendations?

Both those methods you tried would be more successful if direct sunlight was involved but controlling the results would be akin to a crap shoot. If you're that worried, a damp sponge rub with a weak solution of dish soap and distilled water will help. I use Ivory. Lightly dampen the sponge for this and then and then use a sponge and clean water to wipe away the soap. Drying in direct sunlight will help with discoloration but it may not be uniform.

If you're straw is particularly dirty, there is a bit of info on the lounge about using oxalic acid for cleaning straws.

While I'm not necessarily advocating it, I once used OxyClean on an old Stetson Milan to no ill effects. I may have just been lucky. YMMV.

Thanks,

The straw isn't dirty, it's a fairly new hat. Outside of the discoloration under the ribbon around the stitching the hat is pristine. I guess I'm freaking out because I watched a youtube video that showed about a 3" wide sweat stain all the way around a guys panama. Mine isn't anywhere near that bad. I saw a recommendation about treating the straw with a water repellent to protect against the sweat. I'm not sure if that is a good idea.

Would naphtha work on a straw without damaging it?

I like Mr.Clean Eraser/sponges and naphtha for cleaning hats and clothing.

You’re killing me! I’m supposed to be watching the kids swim and here I am laughing until I’m crying.

Hope the kids know CPR (for Pops). I think it’s 10 compressions to 1 breath (this year). Good luck!

As I said, this was the first time I have worn this hat in the heat. The discoloration is mostly along the stitching and is completely hidden by the ribbon. As I look at it tonight, I think last night's cleaning had some success, but you can still see the affected straw in the photo.
