Caring for your Panama hat

The toquilla palm contains a certain degree of moisture, depending on its thickness; which gives it its flexibility.

When the hat is exposed to a humidity-saturated atmosphere (example: beach edges without sun) the palm absorbs excess moisture and expels it when the atmosphere is drier. This process weakens its structure over time. That's why the first models with a wider palm do not last more than two years with significant climate changes. Extra-fine Cuenca and Montecristi hats do not have this problem because they use a finer palm and a denser weave.

To increase the lifespan of your hat, we offer you here some care tips:

• Do not let your hat come into contact with water. The palm acts like a sponge.
• In case of an incident, let the hat rest in the shade for the necessary time to remove excess moisture. - Do not leave your hat in a closed place in direct sunlight (like on the rear window of a car).
• The fiber dries too quickly and the hat may break over time. - Do not apply too much pressure on the same spot when handling it.
• The tip of the fedora shape (like Borsalino style, front part) is always the most fragile area and over time the palm will break. It is recommended to hold your hat by the wings (sides), from underneath. You can easily steam iron your hat.
