We recommend measuring 2-3 times to be as accurate as possible. IMPORTANT Sizing is not accurately determined by the measurement of the inner band of an existing hat as the material type and stretch can affect accuracy. It is best to measure your head for a Panama.ROLLING CAREBefore rolling your Panama hat you should consider that doing so will likely affect the overall shape and appearance. Care should be taken to avoid cracking of the natural palm. You should wear your Panama for several weeks before attempting to roll it as doing so will allow it to shape to your head and become more flexible. Failure to do so will likely result in damage to the palm and shorten its lifespan.

Replacement Panama
Brought to replace an ageing Panama of several years. Arrived promptly in a well protected box and a perfect fit (56cm true to size). Quality is excellent with quite a fine weave. I don’t think I will use the travel tube as I am not sure how it would roll/fold. A tip I was given when I purchased my first Panama was to give them the occasional steam, this helps to keep the plaited leaves supple. Very happy customer.

Good fit, but doesn’t really like being folded
The media could not be loaded. Good quality hat, but once folded didn’t return to original shape. Also cork inserts which ensure a tight fit tend to drop out when hat is removed. However it’s comfortable to wear and gives good sun protection.

Very Happy
Very happy with this hat, I ordered one that was slightly too small, returned it and ordered another, it arrived the next day.It is well made (not that I’m a connoisseur of Panama hats) and fits perfectly. It is also nice and light.I definitely recommend it.

Hats off to Equal Earth!!
Ok, so first off, there area few reviews on here that say this hat comes up a little large. So, I purchased a 55 cm natural Panama, when my head measured 56 cm. And when it arrived, the 55cm was too tight. I contacted the guys at Equal Earth and they were really helpful in arranging an exchange for the 56 cm equivalent. Special thanks to Sam for his updates and emails. When the 56cm arrived, it was a perfect fit. So, if you're looking at these, please measure your head correctly and order the size your tape measure recommends, as they don't come up too large!!Now, to the hat itself. It's great. The quality is excellent, it's a very fine weave, no broken straws, it's lovely and soft yet holds its shape well. And the natural fibre colour is perfect. I haven't tried rolling it for travel yet, but the quality of the hat tells me it will roll and unroll well, and return to its original shape no problem.Overall, a very high quality product for the money, and really helpful staff, should they be needed. Highly recommended if you're looking for a good Panama for under £50.
