A vintage men's straw hat featuring an Alpine style crown with a center crease and side pinches. The hat is constructed from natural tan straw in a diagonal interlocking weave identified on the attached tag as peanut straw. The wide brim is reinforced with an internal wire and finished with a dark brown fabric binding. A matching woven hatband is secured with a small metal buckle on the left side, and a metal ventilation grommet is present on the side of the crown. The interior includes a brown leather or faux-leather sweatband embossed with the word GENUINE. Affixed to the interior sweatband is an orange paper factory or wholesale tag with the following printed information: 25-2229 / Men's Alpine / Shape Peanut / Wire brim / 1 doz. in box / price 1.89. A small circular metal disc is pinned to the interior straw with handwritten black ink characters reading 1.75 over WSM. The presence of these tags and the wholesale pricing suggests this item served as a salesman sample or was part of original store deadstock.
