Our genuine Panama hat is hand woven and fairly traded in Ecuador. Made from natural "iraca" palm fibre which is far cooler and breathable than synthetic materials or cheap replicas.Panama hats are made and worn all over Latin America, but the traditional Panama hat which has taken its name from the Panama canal, are made in Ecuador. Their flexibility and the fact that you can fold or roll them for traveling, makes them unique.The sizes are in centimeters and based on the circumference of the head passing across the middle of the forehead. Our smallest is 54cm and the largest 62cm. As all our hats are handmade, the brim size varies slightly but it normally measures between 6 cm and 7.5cm. Please choose your size when placing your order - we will gladly exchange your hat for a different size if it turns out to be the wrong one.You may also wish to consider our basic Tumia LAC cardboard Panama travel tube or our Tumia LAC balsa wood Panama travel box. If so, just search for them on .Tumia LAC was founded in 1978 promoting fair trade crafts and goods with Latin America, working closely with organisations such as Traidcraft and Oxfam Trading. Tumia LAC has worked with our hat makers in Ecuador for many years and ensure that we pay a fair price (set by our partners), good working conditions and a sustainable future for our workers.Please note that your hat will not be posted rolled up/folded. It will instead be posted in a box large enough to accommodate it without it being folded. The reason for this is that you should wear a Panama Hat for a few days/week before first rolling it. This allows the hat to adapt to the shape of your head and develop flexibility. Failure to do so will result in damage to the hat and shorten its lifespan.

Excellent value
The Tumi Panama Hat is excellent value for money and the size is 100% accurate. I had expected material to be inferior for the price but contrary to my expectations this is a very well made Panama hat. Instructions concerning how to fold this hat are included and the hat was delivered in a box which ensured hat's shape was not damaged in any way. I also purchased the Tumi Cardboard Travel Tube and would recommend purchasing this at the same time as the Panama Hat. Don't bother buying cheaper hats which are supposedly the 'real thing' buy Tumi because they enact Fairtrade and only sell genuine Panama Hats.This Panama hat will protect wearer from the sun and provided one follows instructions on how to fold hat when travelling this will keep the hat in excellent condition and ensure the hat will provide purchaser with many years of wear.

Nice hat
Fitted well, comfortable. A bit on the delicate side, paper quite susceptible to any slight dent or bend but over all a good travel hat, elegant enough to go out in the evening in it and provided the requisite cover during hot sunny days.

This is the second hat I've bought from Tumi and it's the second one that the crown has split
I bought this hat in June of 2021 - I've been very careful with it and have kept it in the box it was supplied when not wearing it . Once again the crown has split . I never hold the hat by the crown when taking it off and on . This is the second hat I've bought from Tumi and it's the second one to split at the crown . Extremely disappointed by the quality of this item

Great hat and excellent supplier
My wife bought me this for Christmas and didn't realise that I had such a big head (very surprised at that!).I rang the supplier and the person I spoke with was incredibly helpful. There was absolutely no problem with me sending it back and them sending me a larger one. The whole process took less than a week after I had contacted them. Highly recommend them.

Short brim
Nice hat, size was a perfect fit. However, the brim was 50mm, which makes this a 'hip' hat rather than a classy Panama. The ideal size should be 70-75mm brim. I have returned it but only because of the brim size.

Tumi foldable Panama hat.
I was looking for a while before selecting the Tumi foldable Panama hat. I picked this due to its flexibility and allowing folding for travel purpose. My initial views was the hat looked well made, fit well and very stylable. Unfortunately on using the hat for the first time (holiday to Cuba)the hat weave came apart, leaving the hat very tatty, and unuseable. The hat also got a little wet one day due to raining for 15 minutes, which caused the hat to discolour to yellow. I would not recommend this hat. Maybe a better grade of weave would be recommended.

Excellent Panama - Excellent Service
Thank you Tumi for the great service I received when ordering this hat for my husband to wear on holiday. Was exactly what he was looking for and the fact that you could roll it up while travelling was great. Was ideal for our cruise and especially walking around in the 40 degree heat of Rome. Once again, Thank you Tumi for your quick service!
