It is known as lighter than Cuenca, allowing you to fold the hat for short periods of time, such as travelling. Handwoven in Ecuador. Brisa weave – little diamonds/squares, less intricate in design (in-and-out / weft-and-waft weave), but perceived as finer than Cuenca weave by some as it is lighter.
How To Fold Your Panama Hat:
Your Panama Hat should be rolled up for travel use only. It should not be rolled up permanently.
- Firstly, turn down the brim of the Panama hat all the way down.
- Hold the crown of the hat from left to right.
- At the centre ridge of the crown, fold carefully, naturally push one side of the hat into the other.
- Loosely, fold gently into a cone shape.
- To hold it loosely in place, a band or scarf is recommended to keep it in place.
Looking After Your Panama Hat:
- Avoid getting it wet or being rained on, as it will loose its shape.
- To preserve, avoid crushing or scrunching hat, as it may break the natural fibres.
- Rolling of the hat is only for travel purposes, do not leave folding for long periods of time.
Cleaning And Reshaping Your Panama Hat:
- Firstly, try to remove any dirt first with a dry cloth from the Panama hat.
- If there are more stubborn sections, use a warm damp cloth or facial wipe to gently remove remainder.
- Avoid all solvents, soap, or cleaning agents.
- Avoid any unnecessary rubbing as this may cause damage to the natural fibres on the hat.
- To reshape a hat that may have lost some shape, steam on a low setting, then gently dry with a hairdryer.
- The brim can be reshaped by placing a damp cloth on the hat, and iron steaming on a low setting. The iron should never come in direct contact with the natural fibres of the Panama hat.
