The Cuban Sun Hat is a bold classic — wide-brimmed, elegant, and shaped by tradition. It’s a strong silhouette for men with real sun coverage and clean, timeless lines. It’s a statement piece for women — flowing, glamorous, and effortless in the heat.
The Cuban is built for open skies and long days. It is woven by hand from toquilla straw and shaped with an 8cm brim and structured 9cm crown. It brings to mind cigar lounges, vintage cars, linen suits, and slow rum afternoons—but updated for the modern wearer who wants real protection and undeniable style.
It’s not flashy, but it has presence. It’s a hat with lineage, charm, and tremendous confidence.
✦ Key Features
8cm Wide Brim Broad and dramatic on women, bold and practical on men. Provides full shade while maintaining structure and proportion.
8.5cm Low Diamond Crown It is balanced and clean, with a beautiful, low, angular crown that adds strength to the silhouette without feeling formal.
Natural Toquilla Straw Handwoven in Ecuador and finished in a creamy tone, this fabric is ideal for hot climates and designed to elegantly reflect harsh light.
Genderless & Versatile Worn differently by women and men, but always beautiful. On women: fluid and styled. On men: bold and grounded.
Hand-Finished in Our Atelier Shaped, trimmed, and refined precisely, ensuring perfect balance, comfort, and long-term wearability.
✦ Why It Works
The Cuban Sun Hat is the kind of hat that carries stories. It feels lived in before you’ve worn it. For men, it offers substance and structure — a wide-brim hat that means business. For women, it becomes soft drama — the hat that frames the face and easily follows the sun.
It’s especially loved by travellers, performers, island dreamers, and anyone drawn to a style with cultural roots and objective function.
✦ Ideal For:
Men seeking a wide-brim traditional Panama with real sun coverage
Women who want a glamorous yet grounded summer hat
Sun protection with high style in hot, open-air environments
Linen, guayabera shirts, sundresses, and vintage gold jewellery
Weddings, holidays, rooftop bars, resorts, and warm afternoons that never end
Hat: top notch quality - no blemishes, loose weaves, or other issues. Uniform in color and texture. Very comfortable.
Service: also top notch. Oska replied to my order with an email to make sure the sizing would be correct, and sent me a 62 (I'm normally a 61, but Panama's shrink slightly over time).
Verdict: Anytime I want a Panama hat, Truffaux is where I will go from now on.
