I have an old straw hat I use for cutting grass, gardening, etc.
It's probably 10 years old, & I wear it all the time when I'm out in the sun. I am on meds that don't mix with sunlight, especially on my face & neck.
Anyway, my hat has worn thin on the pinch on top where I grab it to put it on & take it off. The straw itself broke & started coming apart.
I took some medium CA glue & ran a couple of beads along the broken straw. After a few mins. of curing, the hat was good as new.
If you have a favorite old straw hat that's coming apart, don't throw it away, use some CA glue on it.
Thought I'd share this little tip is all. :wink:
