Our genuine Panamas are hand woven by our skilled craftspeople in Ecuador (home of the Panama), and are checked and finished by our team in Bristol, England. Each stylish hat is carefully woven by hand from many thin "iraca" palm fibres resulting in a brilliantly light and breathable hat. Tumia is the UK’s leading Panama Hat specialist. Returns/Exchanges are easily made to our US address. As one of our "Fino" grade hats this hat has been made out of fibres that are thinner than our standard or entry level hat. As a result it takes considerably longer to weave. The result is an even lighter, flexible and more breathable hat. There is no standardised system for defining what a "Fino" hat is - however when buying one of our hats you can be assured it will be of the highest quality. Please see the various reviews of our hats (and Tumi's Panama Hats - as this is our previous name) on UK. Because we cut out all the middlemen our hats are much more competitive.Dumont style - also known as a "Gambler" this is a 20th century shape that stands out from the crowd. However, the Dumont is not considered to be rollable.Sizes are US hat sizes. If you do not know your size, please use a soft measuring tape to find the circumference of your head - passing across the middle of the forehead to the widest point at the back:Measurement US Size21 - ¼ 6 – 3/421 - 5/8 6 - 7/8 22 722 - 3/8 7 - 1/822 – 3/4 7 - 1/423 - 1/8 7 - 3/823 – 1/2 7 - ½23 - 7/8 7 - 5/824 – 1/4 7 - 3/4Tumia LAC was founded in 1978.
