I glued a piece of grosgrain ribbon in a similar colour to the straw on the hat's inside to reinforce the area if the split. It hid it a bit but mostly did it to stop it from spreading.This panama is sold to me as a Borsalino, but i am in doubt if this is a Borsalino. It is made in Italy, so it could be. It's a genuine montecristi made in ecuador. The condition was not that good, but after some steam the form came back. Except from a little damage in the top of the crown, the hat looks good again. Unfortunally the size 58 is more like a 57 so it doesn't fit me. Luckily my wife is a 57, so she is happy now I bought this hat for 12 euro including shipping costs, so only the leather sweatband is more worth then that ;-)
