FAQs
What makes Evoke's Panamate hats different from traditional Panama hats?
Panama hats mimic the classic weave using durable, water-resistant materials. Unlike traditional straw styles, they hold shape in humidity and don't require delicate handling.
Can your Panama hats be packed for travel?
Yes—our hat can be packed for travel.
Are Panama hats suitable for formal occasions?
Absolutely. Our refined styles with fine weaves and tailored ribbons are ideal for weddings, race days, and elevated events—especially in white or ivory tones.
How do I determine the right Panama hat size?
Measure around your head above the ears. Most styles range from 57 to 62 cm. Size up if you are in between—hats naturally relax slightly after initial wear.
How should I clean and maintain my Panama hat?
Spot clean with a damp cloth, following the weave. Avoid soaking. Store on a rack or in a box.
