Tobacco - Plantation Panama
The Tobacco is a broad-brimmed, traditional Panama in the classic plantation style—a hat made for sun, heat, and long days spent outdoors. Its wide 8.5cm brim and low, flat crown reflect the strong, practical design of hats worn across South America for generations.
Woven from warm, richly toned toquilla straw, the Tobacco feels grounded and substantial, offering real sun protection and timeless style. Its natural tobacco hue gives it a depth and softness that wears in beautifully, pairing easily with earthy fabrics like denim, canvas, and linen.
This hat is meant to be lived in — for those who prefer substance over fashion, and tradition over trend.
✦ Key Features
8.5cm Broad Brim It provides generous shade without being overstated—firm and level- and is designed to keep its shape over time.
Low, Flat Crown (8cm) A flatter, traditional crown with clean lines gives the hat a grounded, masculine profile that suits broader or longer faces particularly well.
Tobacco-Dyed Toquilla Straw Hand-dyed to a rich, warm brown — darker than natural straw, but still soft and organic. Ages beautifully and hides wear.
Unlined for Breathability Keeps your head cool in hot weather. Ideal for everyday wear in sun-exposed environments.
Hand-Finished for Balance & Fit Shaped and trimmed in our atelier to ensure symmetry, comfort, and lasting quality.
✦ Why It Works
The Tobacco is made for people who want a beautiful hat, something they can wear daily without worrying about. It’s not a costume or an accessory — it’s part of how you appear in the world. Durable, breathable, and unfussy, it offers protection, presence, and quiet style that doesn’t age or go out of fashion.
It’s especially loved by gardeners, travellers, farmers, and those drawn to South American style and tradition.
