Our genuine Panamas are handmade by our skilled craftspeople in Ecuador (home of the Panama), and are checked and finished by our team in Bristol, England. Each stylish hat is carefully crocheted by hand from many "iraca" palm fibres resulting in a brilliantly breathable hat. Please note that this crocheted style is heavier, but more hardwearing than our traditionally made Panamas. It is not comfortably heavy, and is still very comfortable, but is different to a standard Panama construction. This model is finished in our classic Fedora style and is ideal as a beach hat.Tumia is the UK’s leading Panama Hat specialist. Your hat will be sent from our Bristol workshop and typically arrives to your door in the US within 3-5 business days. Returns/Exchanges are easily made to our US address. Comfortable sweat-wicking inner headband.The sizes are US hat sizes. If you do not know your size, then please use a soft measuring tape to find the circumference of your head - passing across the middle of the forehead to the widest point at the back:Measurement US Size21 - ¼ 6 – 3/421 - 5/8 6 - 7/822 722 - 3/8 7 - 1/822 – 3/4 7 - 1/423 - 1/8 7 - 3/823 – 1/2 7 - ½23 - 7/8 7 - 5/824 – 1/4 7 - 3/4Tumia LAC (formally known as Tumi) was founded in the UK in 1978 promoting fair trade crafts from Latin America.
