Borges & Scott - Panama Hats

General information

Founded in 1978, Borges & Scott is an award winning family run business, currently run by Alice Borges and David Scott.

We are long established producers of high quality Panama hats. We combine the iconic South American hat with the best elements of British quality and style. All our hats are handmade in Ecuador and finished by our experienced team in Bristol, England.

We have two passions: Panama hats and making our customers happy. We work tirelessly to ensure our hats are of the highest possible quality and will go out of our way to ensure that you’re completely satisfied with your purchase from us.

We take every step we can to ensure that our Panama hats are made in accordance with high ethical standards. We are proud to be a member of BAFTS (British Association of Fair Trade Suppliers) and work hard to ensure that our hats are made under “fair trade” conditions.

As well as selling directly to the public, we are leading providers of bespoke wholesale Panama hats to European trade clients. We’re able to produce hats to your specifications with bespoke outer detailing and inner comfort bands. If you are interested in a bespoke Panama hat for your society, team or club please get in touch with David Scott to discuss your requirements.
