How we ship Panama hats
For the past 15 years we have been shipping our Panamas all over the world. In the process we have become very good at it -
* getting the sizing right & double checking
* packaging for rough postal services (ie USA & Africa)
* helping with styling and choosing the right hat
Have a look here and see how we do it.

Love the channel. How long/much to ship to Spain? Would love to order but am afraid of the customs nightmare here in Spain. How do you deal with VAT?

How long would express to the USA take? Trying to determine if we could get my husband a hat before our trip (we JUST found you on You Tube and he is obsessing)!
Thank you!

Typically express will take a 5-7 days – 8 days at the worst if you are somewhere weird.

Dear sir/madam,
I hope I won’ t offend you with this question..I live in the Netherlands and I wonder If it would be possible to order a packet of spacers? I hear you saying : start buying a hat first and you will get them for free.If all customers would do this I’ll be out of business in no time.The truth is I already have three Panama hats.None of them fits me as I would like them to do
Here in the Netherlands you can only get the ones made of cork( the spacers) I mean.
I know that words come easy ,but my next hat will come out of one of your stores.
If you can fulfill my request.Great! If not ,I fully understand.
kind Regards,

HI Jan – we use window sealing foam rolls and cut it into short pieces so we can accurately adjust the sizing. If you go to any hardware shop, you can buy a roll of them for $5. Typically we use 19mm wide by 6mm deep and they do an excellent job. Avoid the rubber ones, and make sure you use the foam ones. If that is not possible, get back to me and I will fill an envelope with them and mail you some.

What is the difference between the Panama Traveler Hat and the Traveler Sun Hat ? Besides the price! Lol

The Sun Hat has an 8cm brim – rather wide – and the Fedora is 6cm which is standard width.
