A natural woven straw hat with dark brown synthetic coating. The crown, sides, and 3.5" brim are made from one piece that has been blocked to shape. There is black .5/8" wide Petersham ribbon glued around the exterior circumference of the crown, and it ends in a knot on the proper left side. The ribbon ends are cut at an angle and are slightly frayed. The inside is unlined and there is no label.
