Fitting guide

The classic Australian outback hat with a wide sunny brim, rich golden cream colour and a leather hatband. One of the reasons Panama hats are so practical is that they breathe. They absorb moisture from your head, wick it into the straw, where it is blown away and cooled by the wind. It cools your head down and dries itself out. Relaxed and friendly, The Australian is perfect for hot days out in the sun.
If you like the Australian - look up the Traveller as well - it's nice.

  • genuine handwoven Panama hat
  • every hat supports traditional Ecuadorian families
  • ecofriendly, organic, biodegradable Toquilla straw
  • 9cm super-wide brim - brimlock reinforced to hold the perfect shape.
  • handwoven herringbone Cuenca weave in grade 3.
  • medium height (9.5cm) traditional western crown

  • durable and hard-wearing
  • this combination of crown and brim suits most people. If you have a small jaw the Casablanca Fedora would be better.

This is the beautiful hat I’ve been looking for

I had been doing a lot of research to find this exact hat. The Australian is not your traditional Panama hat, However, it is a true Ecuadorian hand made hat, the style fits me well, and it’s exactly what I was looking for.
I contacted Truffaux with questions and the responses were such that I felt I couldn’t go wrong ordering from this business. They pride themselves in making sure you get the correct fit, tell you what to expect, and make sure your hat stays looking good for a long time.
The box this hat was sent in was sturdy and protected it well, however, because the brim of the hat is arched, the way it laid in the box it flattened the brim and messed up the overall appearance. I believe it will straighten out but I’ll need to work with it to make sure of that.
I would have loved to have this hat in a finer weave but Truffaux assured me this weave is best for this hat.
I’m looking for to wearing this hat for a long time.

A lifesaver in the sun

I received my new hat Monday morning shortly after getting to work, I'm a letter carrier for the USPS. I put it on immediately. I got compliments from almost everyone there. It is definitely a REMARKABLE beauty. Although that is not the reason for the investment. I'm sure you can imagine how hot it gets delivering mail and parcels in southern Indiana not to mention the oven our llv turns into. Hotter than the hinges of Hell. I was even debating getting a different job as I have had heat sickness already this year. Thanks to this hat I can safely perform my appointed duties. I'm in awe still over the way it keeps me cool enough that I can work through the day. This hat has made such a positive impact on my comfort and ability to perform at work. I can't believe the USPS doesn't provide these for all employees. I just wanted to let you know that I am so very grateful for you and I LOVE my new hat!!!
