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

Handwoven in Montecristi, Ecuador, using skills passed down for generations, this hat is the result of months of precision weaving. The weavers of the finest toquilla-palm straw work at night and in the earliest hours of the morning when the temperature is cooler and the humidity at its highest, starting at the apex of the crown.

Styling & Fitting

We can tailor your Panama to your specific requirements, whether it needs to be rolled for easy packing, have a slightly wider brim, or you just want a classic crown.

We would be delighted to discuss your requirements for your special hat. For enquiries please contact us.
