That is much like what I have made. Thin round leather, a bead and then attached through the leather sweat like a stampede string. Small enough that it won't be felt when inside the crown.

Does it go under the hair, or under the chin?
This one is not visible when she’s wearing the hat.

Not sure what under the hair would look like and how it would prevent a gust of wind from sweeping the hat away. . Mine would go under the chin like a stampede string.

Behind the neck. Etsuko’s (long) hair goes through the loop. I edited my previous post after you’d already seen it to say “Etsuko says she can’t feel it when wearing the hat. A good option for those with mid-long length hair.”

I could see gust of wind from the front lifting the hat off the head and away from the hair unless it was pinned by a barrette of some sort.

Just got home from work and asked Etsuko about it. She thinks that with her long hair, it wouldn’t blow right away - her hair would stop it to an extent, It’s never actually happened to her, though.

A vintage Ecuadorian toquilla straw Panama by Pedigree Hats.
Don’t know how the weave count would stand up to the modern fino - super fino weave count. I once made a square inch mask for counting weave but I can’t find it this morning. But this is a very fine weave.
It has a very nice perforated sweat.
Shark’s Men’s Store opened in Bismarck, ND in 1937 & closed the final time in 1973.

My client has a 'fear'....perhaps exaggerated but I have to come up with something that will fully allay her fears so she can relax, wear the hat and enjoy it rather than fearing its sudden loss. Sometimes I am called upon to be more than a hat maker......a hat counsellor perhaps?
Wow! That's a very intricate and beautiful weave too with the alternating horizontal and diagonal.

Thank you guys! With the store closing in 1973 it’s at least 50 yrs old & has taken on a beautiful color.
