Story & heritage
Borsalino began in 1857 in Alessandria as a hat specialist; its straw hats sit beside felt as one of the house’s enduring summer signatures.
Claudette Panama Fine Wide Brim appears in the official US store’s Panama and straw-hat offer, giving the line a current, source-grounded place in the Borsalino catalogue rather than a memory-only status.
Materials & craft
Official product data grounds the hat in Panama straw, with paja toquilla fibers from the Carludovica Palmata palm; the brand’s production grounding notes that hand-twisted straw models can take months to complete.
For this specific offer, the live product description notes: The Claudette Fine Panama hat is crafted through the hand-weaving of the finest fibers of the Carludovica Palmata palm, known as paja toquilla. This artisanal technique, passed down through generations, ensures a fine, uniform, lightweight, and durable weave. The structured crown features a softly rounded profile. The style features a wide, gently sloping.
How to choose & style
Use it as the high-summer Borsalino: linen tailoring, open-collar shirts, resort separates and quiet leather sandals keep the weave in focus.
Choose the brim by attitude: Federico for a balanced everyday Panama, Colonial Montecristi for travel polish, Claudette for a broader sun-hat silhouette.
