Care for your preset Panama hat

• Never roll a preset Panama hat
• Do not fold your Panama, or scrunch it up, as it will not only damage the shape of your hat, but also the straw could crack
• Avoid pinching or crushing the natural fibre from the crown
• Do not pull the hat from the edge of the brim
• Protect your panama from rain as it will lose its shape

Cleaning your Panama
Try to remove any dirt marks with a dry cloth or brush first. If not sufficient carefully spot clean with a damp cloth or a gentle baby-wipe. Avoid rubbing too hard as this may damage the natural fibres of the straw. We do not recommend you use any cleaning agents or soap.

Reshaping your Panama
Should your hat lose its original shape, you can steam it gently to try to regain its shape by hand and dry it gently using a hairdryer. The brim can be reshaped by using a steam iron on the lowest setting and a clean damp cloth, ensuring the iron does not come into direct contact with the straw itself.
