    Oh My! Have I Utterly Ruined this Panama Hat?

    I cleaned out the back seat of my truck today and found this wonderful Christy's Panama that I bought in Vegas under some luggage! I really liked (notice past tense) this hat. Is it beyond saving? Can one of our gurus here fix it? I paid almost $200 for it. Will it cost more to fix it and...
