Bought the New Yorker 12 years ago - have worn it death. Spoke to Oska and decided on the Fino New Yorker - it is the most gorgeous hat ever! Thanks
Delivered as promised. Fits perfectly. Great communication as well.
I had been doing a lot of research to find this exact hat. The Australian is not your traditional Panama hat, However, it is a true Ecuadorian hand made hat, the style fits me well, and it’s exactly what I was looking for.
I contacted Truffaux with questions and the responses were such that I felt I couldn’t go wrong ordering from this business. They pride themselves in making sure you get the correct fit, tell you what to expect, and make sure your hat stays looking good for a long time.
The box this hat was sent in was sturdy and protected it well, however, because the brim of the hat is arched, the way it laid in the box it flattened the brim and messed up the overall appearance. I believe it will straighten out but I’ll need to work with it to make sure of that.
I would have loved to have this hat in a finer weave but Truffaux assured me this weave is best for this hat.
I’m looking for to wearing this hat for a long time.
Top quality hat and very comfortable to wear! Super quick delivery half way across the world.
The hat is beautiful; well made, well styled, looks great on me. I'm very happy that I found Truffaux.
Oska was super helpful, too, in ensuring that I received the hat in good nick. I live in rural Mexico and some standard shipping methods don't work for me. After explaining this to Oska, he was more than helpful, working with me to find a method that ensured I received the parcel. Do take Oska's sizing advice. While his recommendation was for a size larger than what I normally would wear, I didn't regret taking the advice. The hat fits really well. Thanks again to Oska for your help.
Many thanks to Oska.
Oska was great at suggesting hats for me from photos I sent and ultimately I chose the Golden Traveller. More emails went back and forth over sizing and then a very well packed hat travelled halfway round the world to me, arriving completely unscathed by it's trip. I'm delighted with it and with the service I received from Truffaux and would recommend them to anyone looking for a new hat.
It is really a great hat. After consulting Oska what might fit me well, I decided to go along with his recommendation and it does fit perfectly. Just a handsome great hat. Thanks alot Oska.
The New Yorker is a gorgeous and fantastic hat, don't hesitate! It makes you feel fabulous but its not too posh. It cools your head down, is very confortable to wear, the straw absorbs the sweat. Perfect!
The great interaction with Oksa helped the decission, shipping (around the world) was no problem, the hat arrived in perfect condition. I am very happy!
Perfect fit and a great hat!
Handsome hat in just the right size and light as a feather. It arrived halfway across the globe quickly and well packed. Good experience all around.
I got the best Panama hat I have ever had from Truffaux. It exceeds my high expectations. And that is not the only reason I am writing this review. I am pretty fussy, and what I truly appreciated was Oska Truffaux's obvious personal concern that it be the right hat in the right size for me. I picked Truffaux because their web site is impressive about hat making and sizing. And I was right!!
Oksa was very helpful in answering my questions about selecting a panama and sizing. I went with the Cuban at his recommendation and man, it is an amazing hat! It suits my head shape perfectly, I've received lots of compliments on it, but most importantly, it is very light and cools my head astonishingly well. Just the slightest breeze and I've got instant a/c. Thanks Oksa!
I love a panama hat, and have many I rotate through, but don't like travelling with them because they get bent out of shape so easily.
A YouTube search on how to travel with hats led me to Oska's shop and my purchase of The Traveller, which arrived just in time for a 2 week trip to Japan and France.
The hat looks great, fits well (thanks to Oska's email assistance) and handles the rigours of travel better than I thought it would, springing back to shape from all manner of mis-treatment.
Great value for the price, I thoroughly recommend Oska and his hats, especially The Traveller.
The buying process was unbelievable. Placed an order and rapidly received a personal response asking if I had ordered the correct size. Sent in my measurements and it turned out I needed a size larger than what I had ordered. Who knew that hats shrink!
A week or so later the hat was in my hands. Quick considering that it had to make it from Australia to the United States. Tried it on, too big! My wife handed me an envelope which contained foam shims. Three of these and a perfect fit which will allow for shrinkage (hat, not my brain).
Wore it today for the first time other than trying it on. Hardly noticed it was there. Super comfortable. Looks good too!
If you want a piece of garbage with no customer service I guess there is Amazon.
If you want a great hat that will fit, you are in the right place!
Just arrived - absolutely amazing hat! And, I can’t say enough about how helpful Oska was in finding me the right hat, and his customer service is extraordinary. I’ll be buying more.

Panama Hat Size Guide: How to Measure Your Head and Order the Right Size
Shoes and hats have one thing in common: getting your size right makes all the difference. We are both keen to get this right, because there is no point shipping a hat across the world if it won’t fit.
Why Hat Size Matters
Too large, and the hat flops onto your ears and you look like a child playing dress-ups.
Too small, and it hurts, and it sits on top of your head, making you look foolish.
In both situations the hat will fly off in any wind, and chasing your hat is downright annoying.
The only way to work out your hat size is to measure your head, and it is easy.
FOLLOW THESE EASY STEPS TO GET IT RIGHT
How to Measure Your Head for a Hat
Take your time and you will see. Measuring twice is the best way to catch a slip then check your measurement against the size chart below.
What no one will tell you is that all Panama hats shrink a little. A Panama wicks moisture away from your head and evaporates it, which cools you down. When you take your hat off it dries out, and in the process it shrinks a little. That’s why we size up by 1cm.
What Size Panama Hat Should You Order?
Order a size 1cm larger than your head, to allow for shrinkage. For example, if you are a size 59 (L), order a size 60 (XL).
If you are particularly sweaty and will be wearing your hat in harsh tropical environments, adding a little more room is a good idea.
Can You Read Your Size Off an Old Hat?
People who are regular hat wearers will know their size. You can also read the size off an old hat, but every manufacturer has a different system, and it can be misleading. If the hat specifies a measurement (not S, M, L or XL), it’s a good guide, so compare it to the chart above. Otherwise, take your time, measure your head and write it down.
We Double-Check Your Size Before It Ships
When we receive your order, we personally follow up and confirm we have your sizing right. 99% of the time, it works out perfectly. If your head is a very unusual shape, we’ll resolve that before shipping.
Now you are ready to buy a great hat. If you are still unsure, the best way is to book in for an online fitting and we can work things out properly.
