This is the quintessential summer Panama. The original, handwoven in Ecuador, and refined to perfection. Elegant, flowing, and easy wearing - it sings of linen suits, risqué bikinis, and the freedom of summer. When we opened our first store in Saint Tropez, this hat made us famous.

every hat supports traditional Ecuadorian families
The hat is beautiful; well made, well styled, looks great on me. I'm very happy that I found Truffaux.
Oska was super helpful, too, in ensuring that I received the hat in good nick. I live in rural Mexico and some standard shipping methods don't work for me. After explaining this to Oska, he was more than helpful, working with me to find a method that ensured I received the parcel. Do take Oska's sizing advice. While his recommendation was for a size larger than what I normally would wear, I didn't regret taking the advice. The hat fits really well. Thanks again to Oska for your help.
Many thanks to Oska.

Just what I was looking for
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.

Great experience, great hat
I’ve been wanting a true Panama hat for some time, but by having to buy online without being able to actually fit the hat to my head I was reluctant to pull the trigger. Then, voila, I discovered Truffaux. The process was simple, the service personal and friendly, and the quality of the hat and fit excellent. I purchased the King for myself and the Fedora for my daughter. Two happy campers.

VERY pleased!
An excellent “shopping “ experience. I am very pleased with the professional advice and prompt service. The hat is magnificent. I ware it everyday. I could not be more pleased with my purchase and have already recommended it to others. I never give a 5 out of 5 recommendation but in this case it is warranted

Exactly what I wanted
I was looking for a proper Panama and had been browsing the web, trying to filter my way through the considerable noise, when I found Truffaux Hatmakers. I'm very glad I did, and even though it took me a good while to decide on a model, the help from Oska made the process both easy and painless. The delivery was also surprisingly quick, especially considering that I live on the other side of the globe, in Sweden.
I'm very happy with my Casablanca fedora. It's a great hat, comfortable and good-looking, and my remaining question is what model I should pick next.
