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. Supplied with cork sizing adjusters to help get the perfect fit.
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).

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.
