The Safari is a classic Teardrop Fedora made from harder wearing straw and a more durable double stitched brim edge. Available in white with a classic black ribbon or with our popular blue and red striped ribbon.

A wide brim shields your eyes from the suns glare, and helps you add that subtle elevation to any outfit. When you pair it with the medium height crown, you have the recipe for a look that you'll not be able to wait to debut.

GENUINE PANAMA HAT:  Teardrop Fedora Shape with a choice of ribbon. Handwoven in Ecuador by Borges & Scott from very light and breathable Toquilla Straw.

HARDER WEARING:  Woven with a slightly stronger weave than the standard Borges & Scott Panama hat to give a more robust headpiece. Double stitched edge protects the edge of the brim. All genuine Panamas must be treated with some care, but this model has been designed to be as tough as the lightweight natural materials will allow.

WIDE BRIM:  Made with a wider brim than the B&S Classic Fedora, the Safari model provides great protection from the sun. Premium quality inner sweatband ensures a great fit that "wicks" away sweat ensuring all day comfort. The brim can be "snapped" up or down to suit your preference.

A PROVEN CLASSIC:  A stylish genuine Panama will never go out of fashion! B&S Panama hats are all hand woven from natural materials, making them far cooler and breathable than synthetic materials or cheap replicas. 

To maintain best condition we advise this model should not be rolled, however, it can be rolled if you are prepared to accept that it will start to lose some shape and develop the odd bit of character! Crown measures approx. 3.5" and the brim 3 & 1/4 on average (although there will be some variation as each hat is handmade).

Pretty and comfortable

Really nice hat. Most impressive, for me, is the fact that you not only have a General size - in my case 60 cm - but you can also fit it by changing the width by changing the inner sweatband. Quality is also way above my usual hat buys.

Online Order Assessment

I had a Panama hat that I tried on and purchased from a local store, but I never really liked the fit/feel of it. After two years of wear and tear, it was time for a new one, but I wasn’t going back to the store, but I was concerned about trying to buy online.

The B&S website was helpful with sizing, along with some YouTube videos I found. I also contact the store via email to ask some questions, and they were responsive within 24 hours and had helpful suggestions for selecting a size.

I placed the order. I used the Shopify app (not as much by choice but it popped up for me). I wasn’t receiving any updates from B&S, so I contacted them, and they had shipped the hat. This is more of a glitch in how the Shopify app works (not a fan). Again, staff were helpful and answered within 24 hours.

Hat arrived on time. There was a little bending due to the shipping/handling. I used an iron on low heat and made it presentable. It’s gradually taken more of the form that I want as I’ve worn it out and about. I do with there was more blocking and bracing within the box to keep the hat from shifting around. Seems like there’s a high chance of damage due to handling.

Only really frustration is the band is crooked - noticeably. However, I usually wear the hat cocked to one side, so you can overlook it, but if I wear the hat on the level you pick it up right away.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ein Traum von einem Panama Hut!

Ich bin absolut begeistert! Dieser Panama Hut hat meine Erwartungen bei Weitem übertroffen. Die Verarbeitung ist einfach fantastisch – jedes Detail sitzt perfekt, die Qualität des Materials ist herausragend und man merkt sofort: Hier steckt echte Handwerkskunst drin.

Der Tragekomfort ist unschlagbar. Der Hut ist superleicht, sitzt angenehm und trotzdem sicher – selbst an wärmeren Tagen bleibt er luftig und angenehm zu tragen. Passt einfach alles! Form, Größe, Stil – dieser Hut ist ein echter Hingucker und wertet jedes Outfit auf.

Kurz gesagt: Ein perfekter Begleiter für den Sommer – stilvoll, hochwertig und einfach genial! Würde ihn jederzeit wieder kaufen!
