Understanding Flexibraid® — Revolutionary Headwear Technology
- Most hats give up when the weather turns. Ours don’t. Flexibraid® hats are built to handle sun, wind, travel—whatever you throw at them. The material took years: strong, lightweight, and comfortable.
- Instead of the usual straw or fabric that falls apart over time, Flexibraid® uses specially designed synthetic fibres woven in a unique pattern that holds its shape. You can bend, pack, or squash it, and it bounces back. No more awkwardly carrying your hat through the airport—fold, stash, and go.
- These hats don't just perform well—they look great, too. The fine, even weave gives each hat a clean, polished finish that goes with just about anything. From the laid-back Phoenix to the refined Rosebud fedora, these hats work hard and look sharp.

FAQs
What makes Flexibraid® material different from traditional hat materials?
Flexibraid® material combines synthetic fibres in a proprietary weave pattern that retains exceptional memory. Unlike traditional straw that breaks or feels deforms, Flexibraid® hats maintain their shape after being packed or crushed. They're also significantly lighter, faster-drying, and more durable in varied weather conditions than conventional hat materials.
Are Flexibraid® hats suitable for hot weather?
Absolutely! Flexibraid® hats are specifically engineered for the Australian climate. The unique weave pattern allows superior air circulation while providing UPF 50+ sun protection. The lightweight construction prevents that common overheated feeling, making Flexibraid® material ideal for extended outdoor wear during our scorching summers.
How do I clean my Flexibraid® hat?
Flexibraid® hats can be gently spot cleaned with mild soap and cool water. For dust and light soiling, wipe with a damp cloth. Unlike traditional materials, Flexibraid® technology won't warp when wet, allowing easy maintenance. Air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight to preserve the hat's colour and shape.
Can Flexibraid® hats be customised?
Many of our Flexibraid® hats can be customised with ribbon trims, hat bands, or distinctive pins. We also offer Panamate Flexibraid® styles in exclusive colourways for corporate clients or special events. Contact our design team to discuss custom options representing your style or brand identity.
How should I pack my Flexibraid® hat for travel?
While Flexibraid® material is remarkably resilient, we recommend gentle folding rather than crushing. For optimal results, fold the hat in half and nestle it amongst soft clothing items in your luggage. Upon arrival, reshape by hand and allow the Flexibraid® hat to rest for a few hours—it will return to perfect form.
