The Cuban is a hat with heritage—wide enough to keep the sun off, crisp enough to wear with linen tailoring, and laid-back enough to make everything look effortless. Its 6cm structured brim and sharp 9cm crown hold the line between tradition and style—a nod to the greats, from Havana’s golden era to modern-day cool. Perfect if you love a very handsome mid-brim that oozes style.
It’s the kind of hat that works hard without ever looking like it is. Built for long days, hot air, slow drinks, and sharp details — this is your go-to when presence matters and the sun is out.
✦ Key Features
6cm Firm Brim Just wide enough to offer solid sun protection, with a clean curve and crisp edge that adds structure to any look.
8.5cm Low Diamond Crown Our perfect crown — sharp, balanced, and comfortable across most head shapes.
Ivory Panama Straw Handwoven from genuine toquilla straw in Ecuador. Breathable, durable, and ideally suited to heat and style.
Tailored Finish Usually paired with a black or chocolate grosgrain band — understated and elegant, like a Cuban guayabera shirt.
Lightweight & Durable Built for daily wear, travel, and timeless style. Holds its shape and gets better with age.
✦ Why It Works
The Cuban is the hat that ties it all together. You can wear it with a white shirt, a linen suit, or just good posture and a watch that matters. It’s traditional but not stiff, relaxed but never sloppy. It’s about intention without effort — the style that lasts for decades because it was right the first time.
✦ Ideal For:
Men seeking classic style with modern refinement
Lovers of structure, sun protection, and cultural edge
Havana holidays, long lunches, weddings, and rooftop drinks
Tailored wardrobes, earth tones, sunglasses, and silence
Anyone who wants a hat that feels like a signature, not a statement
I have been looking for an everyday hat that provides better coverage from the sun than a ball cap. The Cuban is a great hat comfortable and light while still being casual enough to wear anywhere.

Cool in every sense of the word!
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 bought my first Panama hat from Truffaux and couldn’t be more pleased. Oska was wonderful to work with and led me in the right direction about style and fit. The Cuban is a beautiful hat!!
