The Drake is a high-performance cap designed to survive the toughest winter weather. It combines a traditional “wet wax” cotton fabric made by Britain’s leading traditional waxer with our iconic style to make a modern-day classic cap. This cap will only get better with age!
Utilising a traditional wet wax cotton fabric and technical production skills, including fully taped seams, the Drake is highly waterproof. Forget the cheap waxed cotton seen in less exclusive caps, the Drake is made from truly premium materials. We have ensured all day comfort for wearers of the Drake by adding ventilation eyelets to the underside of the peak of the hat to ensure comfort, without sacrificing wet weather performance.
This timeless cap can be easily surface cleaned with a clothes brush or damp cloth. Strong and durable it is easily stored or packed. The 6cm (2 and 3/8 inch) pre-curved peak ensures your eyes are protected whatever the conditions.

How to find the right size Panama hat for you
If you are not sure what your hat size is, please follow these simple instructions to find your size.
Measure your head at the level you would want the hat to sit when you are wearing it. This can vary a little according to your personal preference, but normally it would be across the middle of the forehead, pass a thumb’s width above your ears and around the widest part of the back of your head. Use a tape measure or a piece of string to find your size in centimetres.
Once you have the measurement in centimetres, this should be the hat size for you. You may wish to move up or down one size if you like a particularly loose or tight fit.
If you know your hat size in a different measuring system, please use the following conversion chart to convert it to our sizing.
