Care

Treat your Panama or straw hat with care by lifting it by the brim rather than the crown to preserve its shape and structure. When it needs freshening, a little steam from a kettle or iron can help. A soft brush, gentle wipe, or even a clean pencil rubber can lift away dust and small surface marks.

Try to keep your hat out of wet weather, and if it does become damp, allow it to dry slowly on its own. Heat or forced drying can cause damage to the fibers and the hat may lose its form.

If the fit begins to change over time, a hat jack can be used to carefully restore its original size. For storage, keep your hat in a protective box, away from direct sunlight.

With age, natural fibers can become dry and more delicate, so mindful handling is key. The straw will gradually mature over time into a warmer hue. This is a natural process that adds character.

Did you know

Historically, Panama hats became a symbol of elegance and leisure in the UK during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Worn by aristocrats and gentlemen at summer events like Royal Ascot and garden parties, they were paired with light suits for a refined yet practical look. Their popularity reflected both social status and a fashion-forward approach to warm-weather attire, cementing the Panama hat as a quintessential accessory in British summer culture.
