Panama Hat

The San Diego is appropriate for smart occasions as well as casual summer days.

Made from the finest toquilla palm which has UPF50, by craftspeople in Ecuador, the San Diego Panama is hand-blocked with a teardrop crown, and a sand-coloured, grosgrain band and bow. A feather finishes the look with a stylish flourish, and the bound edge ensures longevity and shape retention.

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.
