Foldable Panama Fedora Hat - Traclet

Foldable Panama Fedora Hat - Traclet 

Panama hat handwoven from straw sourced exclusively from Ecuador, the result of the long sun-drying process of the youngest leaves of the Carludivia Palmita. This straw alone provides its incomparable structure, elasticity, and distinction.

Since 1881, its quality and the exceptional care taken in its manufacture have made it the most famous hat in the world.

Light as a breath of air, it is not afraid of the sun.

But be careful not to leave it on a car’s rear shelf, as it could break in that case.

Rolled up in its case, this hat regains its original shape in the blink of an eye—a true test of authenticity.

When folding your Panama hat, it is advisable to place it in a humid environment (a cigar cellar is ideal) to keep it in good condition.

Panama hat care instructions

• With this type of hat, you must avoid it coming into contact with rain. Indeed, as straw is highly absorbent, once dry, it can show stains and weaken the hat.
• Avoid leaving the hat for too long in a hot, dry, unventilated place, as a straw hat needs a little humidity to remain in good condition. Otherwise, the straw may become brittle.
• Avoid PINCHING the top of the hat when putting it on or taking it off. Use the proper technique to handle it: hold it by the brim when putting it on or taking it off.
