Straight from the "Ponderosa Ranch" was Johnny Cash singing. A strong western crown on a large and flat brim. Yes, the brim is not bended on the sides like a traditional cowboy hat so this give a cleaner and contemporary look to the hat. The material used is a Panama, woven in Ecuador, embellished with a "X" open air pattern. The trim is a tiny silk gros grain around the crown with an overlay of a bicolor rafia braid. Inside you can have the calf leather sweatband in case you are picking the SIZED* solution or the elastic one if you are picking the ONE SIZE FIT ALL* version. The hat is hand made in Florence, Italy with respect and consciousness of quality and making process.
