Our take · Researched, not tested

Genuine Panama with a stingy brim, cut for sharp dressers.

Genuine Panama is the straw people mean when they say a proper summer hat. The Trinidad uses it in natural, with a 4 1/4 in crown and a stingy brim of 1 3/4 in, which is more about looking sharp than throwing shade. A ribbon band with a center design and a crosspiece trims it, and an adjustable Velcro sweatband handles fit. It comes in SM, MD and LG. Imported. Wear it with a linen suit or a guayabera, and bring sunscreen for your ears.

Margo's tip: A stingy brim leaves your ears and neck in the sun. Pick shady tables and keep sunscreen handy.

Great for

  • Summer weddings and dinners with a linen suit
  • A trim look with a 1 3/4 in brim

Skip it if

  • You need a hat that packs flat: the store doesn't list it as packable
  • You want a stated UPF rating: this listing doesn't give one
  • You want maximum shade: the brim is 1 3/4 in
  • You want a cold-weather hat: look at felt

Questions

Which size of the Trinidad should I get?
Measure your head where the hat sits and match it to the chart. SM fits heads 21 to 21 7/8 in (54 to 55 cm) on American Hat Makers' chart. LG fits heads 22 7/8 to 23 1/2 in (58 to 59 cm) on American Hat Makers' chart. Between sizes, American Hat Makers says to size up and use the foam insert it includes.
Is the Trinidad UPF rated?
The listing doesn't state a UPF rating, so don't assume one. Shade depends on the brim and how tight the weave is. Hold it up to a bright light: if light shows through, so does UV.
Can you travel with the Trinidad?
Wear it on travel days. It isn't listed as packable, so it shouldn't go folded in a suitcase. On a plane, set it crown down in the overhead bin with nothing on top.
Can this straw hat get wet?
A light shower is fine; a soaking can loosen the weave and the shape. If it gets wet, reshape it with your hands and let it dry at room temperature, crown down, away from heat.
What if it doesn't fit?
American Hat Makers states 90-day easy returns (per American Hat Makers, as stated on their site Nov 6, 2026). Check the store's current policy before you buy; its page is the final word.
