The Traveller

My wife and I enjoyed our visit to Truffaux. Oska is a gentleman and I appreciated his knowledge and experience as he gently guided me to a style that suited me. I’ll enjoy this hat for years to come and my journey into ‘Panama-land’ has only just started…. I look for forward to purchasing more hats from Truffuax in future.

I have developed a love of Panama hats. I have a couple of others, but I was looking for something sturdier for Travel. I decided to give the Traveler a try. Oska recommended buying a size larger than my head, because of shrinkage. When I received the hat, it was very loose, but with the help of foam spacers I got it to fit. I have been wearing it for a while now and it is shrinking down to the proper size. I’m very happy with the product and the service. I will be back.

Just received. I knew traveler Panama hat last week. A very nice hat. My advice is, if you’re looking for a nice Panama hat, send Oska a selfie and let him size you up. You will be pleased.

I love a panama hat, and have many I rotate through, but don't like travelling with them because they get bent out of shape so easily.
A YouTube search on how to travel with hats led me to Oska's shop and my purchase of The Traveller, which arrived just in time for a 2 week trip to Japan and France.
The hat looks great, fits well (thanks to Oska's email assistance) and handles the rigours of travel better than I thought it would, springing back to shape from all manner of mis-treatment.
Great value for the price, I thoroughly recommend Oska and his hats, especially The Traveller.

The buying process was unbelievable. Placed an order and rapidly received a personal response asking if I had ordered the correct size. Sent in my measurements and it turned out I needed a size larger than what I had ordered. Who knew that hats shrink!

A week or so later the hat was in my hands. Quick considering that it had to make it from Australia to the United States. Tried it on, too big! My wife handed me an envelope which contained foam shims. Three of these and a perfect fit which will allow for shrinkage (hat, not my brain).

Wore it today for the first time other than trying it on. Hardly noticed it was there. Super comfortable. Looks good too!

If you want a piece of garbage with no customer service I guess there is Amazon.

If you want a great hat that will fit, you are in the right place!
