Description
The Cheltenham Panama is named after one of our favourite events of the year – a day at the races. Often referred to as a Fedora Panama hat, this stylish design features a medium-to-wide brim with a soft snap brim at the back, giving it a timeless yet relaxed look.
Handwoven in Ecuador from genuine Toquilla straw using the traditional Cuenca herringbone weave, this Panama is exceptionally lightweight while providing excellent protection on hot days. Each hat is then carefully finished by hand in our Bedfordshire factory using traditional hat-making machines.
The hat is completed with a classic navy band and a soft brown satin inner band for comfort. You can also customise the hat with a choice of trims, which are hand-sewn by our skilled Hat Makers in our Bedfordshire factory.

- Brim: approx. 7 cm / 3 in

Packing & Care:
A helpful packing tip when travelling:
Pack the crown tightly with soft items, place the hat face down in your suitcase between clothing to create a “well,” and lay a few flat items over the brim to keep it secure.
If the brim becomes misshapen, it can be lightly ironed with steam through a towel to restore its shape (brim only).
