Tumi Latin American CraftsTumia LAC Panama Hat - Rollable - Cream with Black Ribbon 56cm

a wonderful product well made and great for those hot days good value

I ordered the hat to take to Hong Kong as part of wedding ensemble and was delighted with the look, feel and weight of the hat when it arrived. Made from natural material it was bright white - as expected. It is soft to touch and of exactly the shape I wanted - a sort of fedora style. As I was flying I also bought a carrying tube and with some trepidation rolled that hat - as per the included instructions - and packed it all in my suitcase. On arrival I removed the hat and unrolled. Within a few hours the hat had returned to its original shape all by itself. There was one slight crease as a result of the folding however this too disappeared by itself within a couple of days. The hat itself was a great success at the wedding - being very comfortable and light to wear. Being a natural woven product some air circulation helps keep the head cool. For the return I rolled again and have just got home and am now waiting for the hat to return to its original shape.I really recommend the hat for its style and quality together with the service and advice offered by the supplier. I supplied measurements when ordering and the hat has proven to be a good fit.

I have been the proud owner of a 100% tequillo Panama hat for the last 8 years after being purchased from M&S. The hat has accompanied me all over the world on vacations and it has always looked as good as the day it was made even after it has been put in suitcases. As it is now showing slight signs of wear with a small split in the straw around the crown, I have decided to replace it with a new Panama hat. On being handed the cardboard box containing my new Tumi genuine handwoven Fedora Panama hat I began to wonder if there was in fact a hat inside the box, and someone had possibly forgot to pack it, due to the unbelievable lightness of the package. On inspection the hat was like receiving an original Leonardo or Van Gogh painting. It was protected by paper and its sheer quality, mystifying beauty and workmanship shone through even before I removed the hat from the box. It fitted perfectly at 60cm and it was hard to think that I had a Fedora hat on my head due to its incredible lightness.I am so grateful to these highly skilled artisans in Equador whose skills and attributes have allowed these beautiful headpieces to flourish since the early 1500s. I am sure that my new Panama will give me many years of comfort, style, and protection in worldwide destinations still awaiting visiting by my wife and myself.

I wanted a light breathable hat for shade when reading in the garden. The panama is a nice design and this one is well made and the fit is as expected (if you are between sizes get the larger one, I did and it's fine). I marked it down slightly for a couple of small ends not trimmed as closely as they should be, but this is trivial. I don't why you'd pay a lot more for virtually the same thing.

My wife bought me this for Christmas and didn't realise that I had such a big head (very surprised at that!).I rang the supplier and the person I spoke with was incredibly helpful. There was absolutely no problem with me sending it back and them sending me a larger one. The whole process took less than a week after I had contacted them. Highly recommend them.

When the hat arrived I was happy enough. It fitted for a start and as a girl with a head too big for the hats in the shops, this was a great start. It looked pretty good too. The quality wasn't great, think I'd bought one off a beach hawker on holiday once of similar quality but for much cheaper! However the real trouble started when I arrived on holiday. Firstly the band fell off and then inexplicably would no longer fit back on the hat! I bought some glue and squished the hat back inside the band and glued it down. It now felt smaller but was fine. Then the band came apart at the join and I no longer had the glue to stick it back together so it flapped about in the wind. The last straw was when I'd left it on a sun lounger during a rain shower. The hat lost all shape and it was then I finally gave up and put it in the bin. With express postage I'd spent £50 on this hat so I'm not best pleased.

What can I say about my Tumi hat, except excel in my recommendation to buy this magnificent hat. I have quite a large head, but I have to say my head fits the rest of my rather large cumbersome body. In the past getting a hat to fit my bald head has been difficult. The order took just a few minutes, measure the circumference of your head just above the ears, in trepidation I flicked through the list of measurements on their site & bingo there was the measurement for my head. I couldn't believe it, gosh surely this couldn't be this simple. Delivery was efficiently quick & the day of unveiling my Tumi hat lovingly packaged was with a bated breath I can tell you. I drew it out of its box & placed it on my head & actually whooped out loud in delight, as I admired myself in the mirror it felt & looked like part of me. It fitted like a glove, in fact so much like a glove I didn't want to take it off & sat rather proudly at my desk wearing a big grin whilst I banged away on my keyboard. I love my Tumi hat & must say it's been one of my best buys. It's beautifully crafted & I urge each & everyone of you thinking about a hat to buy this I truly cannot recommend it highly enough, you will not be disappointed.

Io posto il 56 e avevo ordinato la taglia 56, ma ho dovuto restituirla perchè troppo grande. Quindi ho ordinato la taglia 55 e quesra va bene. Il cappello è perfetto, leggero e ben fatto, ma, come ho detto, le taglie non corrispondono; sarà stato un caso, ma se è la norma, per gli acquirenti sarà un bel fastidio.
