As the weather warms, transition to the "venerable Epsom Derby" style with a genuine Panama straw hat. Tracing its origins to Ecuador, Panama straw is handwoven palm leaf that offers incredible breathability and a lightweight feel—perfect for summer soirees and garden parties. At Bia Boro, our Magill Panama hats feature safari-style downward brims for extended UV protection and shade. For a truly classic look, pair your Panama with a linen shirt, tailored shorts, and loafers. Unlike wool, straw provides essential ventilation during Vancouver’s hot August weekends, making it as much a practical necessity as a style statement. Discover our collection of Bailey and Magill straw hats to bring a touch of old-world sophistication to your next seaside walk or outdoor event.
