...or a Wok?
Look at the ingenious fit-all weaving on the inside. Pretty sure it won't splinter.You sure that isn't just the lid to a decorative basket?

I’ll post a top side view later. The pics above are both interior shots. Dralon is somewhat translucent!
Well if that ain’t the luck of the Irish....err...Spanish!!It appears that the person who beat me in the bidding for this black Vagabond did not buy it after all.
The seller offered to let me have it for my second-place bid of $490, but I explained I got carried away during bidding and would only BIN for $350.
He agreed, and I did.

Yeah, I got a Panama the other day that was shoved into a mailer box a good 2 inches shorter than the hat. It resulted in the hat tearing at the front of the crease in the crown.There’s a full size fur felt hat in this plastic shipping bag:
Of course it was misshapen on arrival. The seller defended his shipping stating he would have to pay more if he used a box. He alleged that he’s shipped a couple hundred hats this way and I’m the only one who has complained. Sometimes I really hate eBay.

Well.....you’d probably do the same if both your hands were busy guiding the wheelbarrow carrying your cajones around too!There’s a full size fur felt hat in this plastic shipping bag:

cOjones, B. Cajones are drawers. So, he would just be carrying a desk around. [emoji2]Well.....you’d probably do the same if both your hands were busy guiding the wheelbarrow carrying your cajones around too!

I haven't seen them when they arrive to Juan Carlos' in Texas. Otherwise, I guess I would have my own gripes.Yeah, I got a Panama the other day that was shoved into a mailer box a good 2 inches shorter than the hat. It resulted in the hat tearing at the front of the crease in the crown.
I really like the hat and haven't seen another exactly like it, so I'm trying to come up with creative ways to reshape the crown to hide the tear instead of trying to fight to send it back for a refund.
If I've learned nothing else about hats since joining this forum, I've at least learned that ebay sellers don't care anywhere near as much about the hats as we do.

You could email the seller and mention the damage. Get an estimate on repair and throw that figure at the seller. Sometimes such tactics have garnered discounts/partial refunds for me when I still wanted the damaged hat...Yeah, I got a Panama the other day that was shoved into a mailer box a good 2 inches shorter than the hat.
