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 (e.g., beach 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 Cuencas and Montecristi hats do not have this problem because they use a finer palm and a denser weave.

To increase the life expectancy of your hat, we offer you some care tips:

- Do not put your hat in 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 evacuate this excess moisture. - Do not leave your hat in a closed place and 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 to grab 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 grab your hat by the wings (sides), underneath. You can easily steam iron your hat.
