Borsalino Panama. 3 1/4” brim and 4 1/2” crown at the front dip.
It’s a size 62cm 7 3/4 US, but in true Borsalino fashion it was too small for my 7 5/8 head. I confirmed it using a 7 5/8 band block, but that of course made the brim get all wonky. With the band block in place, I reflanged the brim on a 7 3/4 LO flange. The brim still needs some work.
Overall, I’m not impressed. The sweatband ends don’t butt together; rather, one end is lucked under the other for about 1/4 inch. What a cheap way to do it. It’s worth what I paid, but I pity the people who paid full retail thinking a Borsalino must be a quality hat.
