I purchased this hat about three months ago, but I wanted to wear it several times before writing a review. In short, I love this hat. It’s my first hat, so it’s not like I’m a connoisseur, but it was everything I was looking for.
I haven’t gotten overheated once while wearing it. It creates a good shadow around my head, and it looks great on me. I’ve received several compliments. I also love the feel of the straw when I touch it. I contacted Oska before buying it to ask questions, and he was very helpful and encouraging.
If you’re looking for a Panama hat, consider Truffaux. I’m glad I made the purchase. By the way, Oska is right about the hat shrinking. It came slightly too big, and it has now shrunk enough that I need to take out a spacer or two (which came with the hat). I couldn’t be happier.
