Panama Sun Hat : Size 55 cm
Handwoven, fair trade and elegant
A very popular wide brim hat offering great sun protection. The straw for this Panama hat is twisted prior to weaving, giving increased flexibility. Although not a fine grade Panama, it is still suitable for rolling and springs back into shape making it a good travelling hat.
Available in 4 sizes.
To measure your size, position a tape measure or string so that it rests just above the brow at the front of the head, touching the top of the ears at the side, with the tape taut but not too tight. Hats are sized to the nearest whole centimetre so size up if your head falls between two measurements.
Caring For Your Sun Hat
If your hat becomes misshapen you should be able to recover the original shape of the hat by lightly steaming it over a boiling kettle and ironing the brim under a damp cloth. The hat should then be placed over an appropriately shaped object such as a bowl and left to regain its shape. If your hat becomes dirty you should first try to remove dirt by lightly dusting with a dry cloth. Should the mark prove stubborn and difficult to remove in this way try using a moist facial or baby wipe. This should remove most marks although care should be taken not to rub too hard. Never use soap and water.
