Panama with wind lanyard

On a bright ferry crossing or out in the garden, midday light is relentless. We weave this fedora from flexible paper braid with a downward slope that creates deep shade across the eyes. A quiet khaki tone settles easily into dry grass and sunlit sand.

Sloping paper braid

The fine weave holds its shape while softening bright glare across the collar and face. It rolls into a weekend tote, then springs back into form when shaken out.

Holding in the wind

A woven chin cord stops sudden gusts from lifting the crown on open piers. When the air settles, let the cord hang back or tuck it inside the crown.

Inner size band

A concealed hook and loop tape sits inside the sweatband. Tighten or ease the fit by small degrees so the hat rests comfortably across the brow without pinching.

Care and keeping

Spot clean with a damp cloth instead of soaking. The paper braid stays crisp longest when kept dry and given room to rest between warm afternoons outdoors.
