Nice find and a superb repair job. That does look a good weave count by the way. Enjoy it.Here are some clearer pics, you can count the weave (on the brim) yourself, about 600 WPSI. I count over 700 on the side of the crown; this was once a VERY nice Panama, very much worth the rescue effort. I suspect that a comparable hat today would cost $1,000.

'nuther look at that nice ribbon work. Tom advised me the ribbon was vintage and shows some fading, inconsistent color saturation and I decided to stick with it, glad I did, looks great with this 'experienced' hat.
