Shape:  Dr Livingston I presume?  Also known as the Colonial, Optimo or Natural; our Folder evokes memories of great British explorers and leaders throughout history.  It is a style driven by practicality, yet beautiful in its simplicity.  Designed to roll, it is our most popular shape for regular travellers.

Colour:  The colour combination of natural straw with a traditional black band is a great choice for this shape of hat.

Weave:  The Borges & Scott Signature range of Panamas use very narrow fibres, painstakingly woven into a beautiful lattice structure to ensure supreme lightness, softness and breathability. Each hat will have taken more than a day for our craftsmen and ladies to make.  For more information on the various qualities of weave we offer, please click here:  Panama Hat Weave Types

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 at 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 prefer a particularly loose or tight fit.
