Care

Always handle your Panama hat by the brim to avoid distorting the crown.

Spot-clean using a damp cloth and leave to dry at room temperature. Or alternatively steam from a household kettle and a soft bristle hat brush or clean pencil rubber will help remove dust and dirt.

Avoid wearing a Panama hat in the rain. Dry with a clean, absorbent cloth or sponge if it gets wet.

Should your hat shrink in size, a hat jack can be used to stretch it back to its original shape.

Panama hats are best stored in a hat box, away from direct sunlight.

Be very gentle with this hat; Regular steams are highly recommended, bring your Lock Panama hat to us for a complimentary steam whilst you wait. We use a specialist steamer to refresh hats. This typically takes five minutes, depending on how busy our shop is.

Materials

Our Walter Panama is individual and unique, and is hand-woven from a superior quality, high-grade toquilla palm straw, which has UPF50 protection, by expert crafts people in Ecuador. Finished with a multicoloured textured cotton band, on this style of Panama the pinch is not secured with silicon.

Styling & Fitting

Always handle your Panama hat by the brim to avoid distorting the crown. Angle to suit your mood and the occasion. Your Panama should comfortably sit midway down your forehead above your eyebrows, but without obstructing your view in any way.
