Goorin Bros blue & gold spiral straw hat

STATEMENT "I practice beach hypnosis." THE THING Purchased from a haberdashery along NW 23rd in Portland OR, this hat features tightly woven chunky straw dyed with yellow-gold and blue pattern starting at the top center of the dome head and spiraling out to the wide brim. The brim has an invisible wire that runs through it, allowing you to adjust the shape and flop to your liking. A one-inch beige lining runs along the inside bottom to help lightly secure it to your head. Multiple stands of twine are tied in a bow around the outer base. THE REASON This adorable hat has served for years as a stalwart reminder that I am not a hat person. Size is large because I have big hair; yet my quest to find a hat that accommodates it goes on. CONDITION Barely worn. No damage. The inner ribbon isn't even dirty. This hat deserves better.
