Product Insights
Simons' exclusive Italian import Panama hat offers a dramatic resort silhouette with a 13 cm brim that exceeds face-shading benchmarks, crafted from premium natural straw that outlasts paper straw in moisture. Its Italian design and oversized brim provide value beyond traditional Panamas at CAD $150, although buyers must accept it is not crushable and requires a hat box for travel—trading weave fineness for styling.

Too floppy
The brim of this hat is so big that it just flops down. It was also shipped folded, which made the flopping worse. I returned the hat.
