The Open Crown Panama


Shape Your Own Story

The Open Crown Panama is a rare and beautiful hat—left unshaped, it invites the wearer to mould it, crease it, or leave it tall and proud. Woven in natural toquilla straw and finished with a tall, cylindrical crown, it offers a sense of old-world romance and freedom not found in pre-blocked hats.

Traditionally used by milliners to create custom crowns, the open crown can be pinched, dented, creased, or worn as-is, making it the perfect choice for those who value individual expression or want a high crown silhouette reminiscent of early 20th-century style.

Its presence is distinctive, sculptural, and versatile — a hat that becomes what you make of it.


✦ Key Features

  • Unshaped Open Crown (Approx. 11–12cm tall)
    A tall, cylindrical crown that arrives smooth and unblocked, allowing full personalisation or a raw, dramatic silhouette for those who like it untouched.

  • 6.5cm Firm Brim
    A classic mid-width brim with a clean edge, offering sun protection and balance to the tall crown.

  • Natural Toquilla Straw
    Handwoven in Ecuador from premium straw. Creamy in tone, breathable, and easily shaped by hand or steam.

  • Malleable & Adaptable
    It can be shaped to a centre dent, teardrop, or fedora pinch or left open and worn tall. It is perfect for hat lovers, milliners, or free spirits. I like to wear it with an Open Road-style crown and sometimes a Mountie.

  • Hand-Finished and Ready for Personalisation
    It is delivered with a finished brim and band but an open crown, leaving the final design in your hands.


✦ Why It Works

The Open Crown Panama is about freedom. It’s a canvas for self-expression, a nod to the past, and a chance to wear something truly your own. Whether you shape it once and let it set, or adjust it with the seasons, it will carry your imprint — and become more you every time you wear it.

It’s also ideal for those who love the tall-crowned look of early Panama styles and want a cleaner, more vertical silhouette without traditional blocking.


✦ Ideal For:

  • Creatives, stylists, or traditionalists who love shaping their hats

  • Tall crown lovers seeking an old-world look

  • People who want one hat with many possibilities

  • Minimalist wardrobes are looking for a strong signature piece

  • Those seeking both structure and freedom in one beautiful object
