The "Wilde" by Borges & Scott is a premium leather Fedora.
Each one is hand-crafted from high quality genuine Ecuadorian leather ensuring that this is a hat that will survive whatever you can throw at it. As with all leather products, the look of the hat improves as the years go by.
This Fedora is forged out of thick, stiff leather with a medium/wide brim size that will protect you from the elements. The brim is "wired" to keep it in shape. It has a sweat-wicking inner headband that ensures a really comfortable fit.
The classic Borges & Scott Teardrop Fedora shape gives this model a modern clean visual. It sits quite close to the top of the head for a streamlined look.
As with all leather products this hat can be worn in the rain. However, Borges & Scott recommend occasional treatment with a good leather lotion that will add water repellant properties. If you do treat it with a good waterproofer, it can be considered the perfect cool and cold seasons rain-hat.

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.
