The sizes are in centimetres and based on the circumference of the head passing across the middle of the forehead. Tumia Panama Hats (formally known as Tumi) was founded in the UK in 1978 promoting fair trade crafts and goods with Latin America. We've worked with our hat makers in Ecuador for many years and ensure that we pay fair wages (set by our partners), provide good working conditions and look to provide a sustainable future for our workers.

Our genuine Panama hats are hand woven in Ecuador before being checked and finished in Bristol, England. Each one is skilfully woven by hand from many thin "iraca" palm fibres. Panama hats are traditionally made in Ecuador and worn all over Latin America. This stylish hat has become known as a "Panama" due to Panama being the main trading hub of 19th century Latin America and their popularity amongst the foreign workers who built the Panama canal.

Please note that this model is not considered to be a rolling Panama - it is our entry level hat. You can try rolling it, but it will be liable to crack and we cannot be held responsible for any such damage. If you want a lighter, softer and generally higher quality Panama that can be rolled/folded, please consider other Tumia Panama Hats listed here on Amazon (formally known as Tumi).

The fabric type is woven, and the care instructions are hand wash only. The pattern is solid. This item is a genuine Panama hat, with a fedora style. It is light and breathable, and has been ethically traded.
