FAQs

Is the Borsalino Federico Panama waterproof?

No, it is not waterproof. Authentic Panama straw is a natural fiber and should be kept away from heavy rain and excessive moisture.

Can I pack this hat in a suitcase?

It is not recommended. This model is a structured hat and folding or crushing it will likely cause the straw to crack or lose its shape.

How should I store my hat during winter?

Store it in a dedicated hat box in a cool, dry place to prevent the straw from becoming brittle and to protect it from dust.

What does the 6 cm brim measure?

The brim is approximately 6 cm wide, providing a classic medium-width profile suitable for various face shapes.

Is the ribbon replaceable?

The grosgrain ribbon is professionally sewn onto the crown. Alterations should be performed by a professional hatter to avoid damaging the straw.

Troubleshooting

Hat brim becomes slightly wavy due to humidity

Allow the hat to dry in a cool, well-ventilated room; the natural fibers often regain their stiffness once moisture is fully evaporated.

Dust accumulation in the straw weave

Use a very soft-bristled brush to gently sweep away particles in the direction of the weave.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely lightweight and breathable for summer comfort
  • Hand-woven construction ensures individual character
  • Versatile medium brim size suits most face shapes
  • Sophisticated design that elevates both casual and formal outfits

Cons

  • Sensitive to heavy moisture and rain
  • Natural straw requires careful handling to avoid cracking
  • Limited structural flexibility compared to packable travel hats

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Panama hat remains in excellent condition, always handle it by the crown rather than the brim to prevent misshaping or cracking the straw. When not in use, store the hat in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, ideally on a hat stand or in a hat box to maintain its form. If the hat gets wet, shake off excess water gently and allow it to air dry naturally away from artificial heat sources. Do not attempt to fold or crush this hat, as the natural straw fibers are not designed for packability. Clean the hat occasionally by lightly dusting it with a soft, clean brush or a slightly damp, lint-free cloth.
