Ask the Panama Hat Guy
Sometimes when you are searching for an answer, it is best to ask.
- Send me a message and I will get back to you with what you seek.
- If you want to work out which hat suits you best CLICK HERE and send me some details so I can be thorough. It is always interesting to hear the thoughts of an expert. I have a lifetime of passion welled up in my heart.
- If you have a trashed Panama and want to save it - I can help.
- If you are trying to give someone a gift, send me their photo and we can work it out. I am really good at picking head sizes. I walk down the street, 58.5, 54, 63 - it is a funny way to perceive people.
- If you just want to tell me something interesting, it is always welcome
- I look forward to hearing from you.
Warm Regards
Oska

Hello, I really think the Caribbean hat would be ideal for me. I live in Florida, so outside in heat for both for work (sales) and go to beach and out on water. Might even wear for weekend yard work. My head size is 22.5 inches, ballcap a 7 1/4. Would I order a Large or Medium? Also, love the New Yorker. Thank you.

Hi David
I would order a large, and a will ship you a small one at 58. Then all will be well. You should also consider the Traveller – a smidge wider.
Warm Regards

I purchased a hat in Panama 2015. Can’t remember how much I spent but not sure if it’s the real thing. How can you tell?

Hi Maria
If you look at the centre of the crown of the hat – you will see it spiral out like this post. https://www.truffaux.com/blogs/panama-hat-advice/what-is-a-genuine-panama-hat <https://www.truffaux.com/blogs/panama-hat-advice/what-is-a-genuine-panama-hat>
