Size Guide
Size Guide – Panama Hats Ecuador
It is essential to know the correct measurement before choosing the perfect Panama hat. Generally, women tend to wear sizes small in their head circumference (S or M), while men tend to wear medium to large sizes (M, L, XL). Below, we present three methods to determine the ideal measurement:
Method 1: Using a Tape Measure
With the help of a tape measure and in front of a mirror, place the tape around your head.
Make sure the tape passes one centimeter above your ears and across the center of your forehead, as shown in the image in this section.
Method 2: Using a Rope or Cable
Use a rope or the cable of a charger to repeat the previous exercise.
Place the rope on a ruler or tape measure to obtain the measurement in centimeters.
Method 3: For Gifts
If you want to give a toquilla straw hat as a gift but you don’t know the correct size, you can do the following:
Select the size based on the person’s shirt size (S, M, L, XL).
Request help by contacting Montecuador by call, email or WhatsApp. Send a photo of the person and we will provide you with an approximate size.
Important note
If you are unsure between two sizes, for example, 58 or 59 cm, we recommend opting for the larger size. It is preferable that the hat fits loosely, as it can shrink over time. A hat that is too small could cause discomfort. If you are still undecided, when purchasing, you can request a Free “Reducing Strip” in the order description. This strip is placed inside the sweatband and reduces the size by one to two centimeters.
