We recommend measuring 2-3 times to be as accurate as possible. IMPORTANT Sizing is not accurately determined by the measurement of the inner band of an existing hat as the material type and stretch can affect accuracy. It is best to measure your head for a Panama.ROLLING CAREBefore rolling your Panama hat you should consider that doing so will likely affect the overall shape and appearance. Care should be taken to avoid cracking of the natural palm. You should wear your Panama for several weeks before attempting to roll it as doing so will allow it to shape to your head and become more flexible. Failure to do so will likely result in damage to the palm and shorten its lifespan.

Brilliant Hat and there's a wide range of hat band colours
Brilliant hat, well-made, very comfortable and very light; you hardly know its there. Practicalities - we measured my head before ordering and it came out on the measure at 59cm with the tape a snug fit and none of this finger through the tape to allow for the fit stuff. The hat fits perfectly - no need for the cork strips but nice to know you have them in case you want a tight fit for some reason. The hat came with a black band fitted. After ordering I discovered that there was a wide range of different coloured bands I could have chosen - so try searching Amazon for Equal Earth Panama Hat to find the one you want. Wasn't a problem because Equal Earth supply coloured hat bands as accessories so now I have a selection and can match my hat to suit what I am wearing. Very happy.

Very Pleased With This
Always difficult to know what sort of quality you will get when purchasing on line, but this hat is very good. I measured my head several times and couldn't decide if I were a 57cm or 58cm. Seeing that there are cork strips to make the hat tighter I went for 58cm. The hat arrived in a very sturdy box, came with two cork strips and also an extra different colour band. Hat was a little loose, but one cork strip inserted on one side sorted that out. I watched the video on how to roll the hat, which made me a bit nervous at first, but it rolled easily and fitted in the supplied tube.If anything happens to my hat then I would definitely buy one from this company again.

A Comfortable light weight foldable hat with a good sturdy travel tube.
A really comforatble light weight hat. The hat comes a sturdy travel tube and with excellent instructions for folding for travel. The video on the Equal Earth website that is very useful. The hat retains its shape and integrity if treated correctly and the travel tube is used.The cork inserts for the hatband ensure a good comfortable fit. It is lightweight which means that it is cool and you don't feel the headband creating a hot ring around your head as with some heavier Panama hats.I had a problem with my hat and Equal Earth were excellent, dealing with the problem efficiently and quickly.A good product from a good company. Can recommend.

Hats off to Equal Earth!!
Ok, so first off, there area few reviews on here that say this hat comes up a little large. So, I purchased a 55 cm natural Panama, when my head measured 56 cm. And when it arrived, the 55cm was too tight. I contacted the guys at Equal Earth and they were really helpful in arranging an exchange for the 56 cm equivalent. Special thanks to Sam for his updates and emails. When the 56cm arrived, it was a perfect fit. So, if you're looking at these, please measure your head correctly and order the size your tape measure recommends, as they don't come up too large!!Now, to the hat itself. It's great. The quality is excellent, it's a very fine weave, no broken straws, it's lovely and soft yet holds its shape well. And the natural fibre colour is perfect. I haven't tried rolling it for travel yet, but the quality of the hat tells me it will roll and unroll well, and return to its original shape no problem.Overall, a very high quality product for the money, and really helpful staff, should they be needed. Highly recommended if you're looking for a good Panama for under £50.

Very nice quality product
Hat came nicely packaged meaning it arrived safely. I was impressed with the quality, it feels very well made. It is a good fit and comes with cork adjustment spacers for a fully adjustable fit. The travel tube is a nice touch so now the hat can go with me on my sunny travels.
