Over the years I have bought quite a few hats (it goes back to 1990 when I watched Dick Tracy and decided I needed a fedora). I have had baseball caps, several trilbies and fedoras, a couple of pith helmets of different styles and a stetson I bought in Virginia.
I have also bought, I think, three panama hats. One I still use occasionally, is a collapsible one I can roll up and put in my pocket. I no longer have the fedora-style panama; as much as I think fedoras suit me, that one didn't. When I was upp in Shropshire last weekend, we were rooting around in the attic and I found the first panama I ever bought.
It didn't suit me then; it doesn't suit me now. In theory it is the same size as my other hats, but it seems to sit there, slightly too small, like a tomtit on a round of beef:

Oh, dear...
