Picked up my first ever Panama in a charity shop!

[PADDY]

Currently at work so will post pics later (of course!).

But was just passing a charity shop (second hand shop) the other day and saw a Panama. Checked it over and it was exactly my size (57), in unused condition and has a leather sweat band with Christy's of London, Original Panama on it!! And all for £3 (UK), which is a steal!!!

But I hold my hands up and say, "I have no idea if it is a decent Panama or not, I really couldn't tell you the difference!! it's all virgin territory for me to be honest!"

Only thing I'd like is a wider ribbon on it, to make it more vintagey!!! but can't be bad for that price surely!! Plus, the sun seems to be coming out now that I've bought it.

Congrats. In unused condition for £ 3.-. That's a steal. Looking forward to seeing the pics.

What will you match it up with?

You're a fine hand at assembling a look, can't wait to see what you pair that new bargain Panama with!

Order a silk hatband from Aaron hats and you'll REALLY like the way it looks on that Panama.

Might team the Panama up with something like this...

You're a fine hand at assmebling a look, can't wait to see what you pair that new bargain Panama with!

Assmebling indeed..? How dare you!

What a buy!
Well done!
I have seen those Christie's on eBay for much more than that.
That is also an interesting hat; it sort of has a Bobbs 5th Ave look to it.
Enjoy!
