Fedora Panama Trieste Hat - Traclet

The traditional Panama hat

A panama hat borsalino style in Panama, made of natural straw with a black ribbon

This hat comes from a plant from the lowlands of Manabi. Here is a superb Panama hat which will adorn your beautiful days; it is the result of a long drying in the sun of young palms of Carludivia Palmita. It is exclusively this straw that brings this exceptional maintenance. Since 1881, the quality and care given to its manufacture have made it the most famous hat in the world. It is a very light hat that can be adjusted thanks to its coarse inner grain. It is the most elegant hat, a great classic that will protect you from the sun.

In our shops or when ordering on our website, we can personalize your PANAMA hats by simply changing the ribbon to the color of your choice. Finally, it is also possible to make a silk-screen print or an embroidery on the ribbon and to propose first price Panama hats according to the quantities requested.

Care for your Panama Hat

The toquilla fin contains a certain degree of moisture, depending on its thickness, which gives it its flexibility. When the hat is exposed to an atmosphere saturated with moisture (e.g. sunless beaches) the palm absorbs the excess moisture and expels it when the atmosphere is drier. This process weakens its structure over time. This is why the first models with a wider fin do not resist more than two years with important climatic changes. The extra thin Cuencas and the Montécristis do not have this problem because they use a finer fin and a denser weave

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

- Do not put your hat in contact with water. The fin acts like a sponge.

In the event of an incident, leave the hat in the shade for as long as it takes for the excess moisture to drain away. - Do not leave your hat in a closed area in direct sunlight (like the back 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 grip it.

The tip of the fedora shape ( Borsalino style, front part) is always the most fragile area and over time the fin will break. It is recommended to grip your hat by the wings (sides), underneath. You can easily iron your hat with steam.
