You'll look sharp all day wearing the best hat in the world, the Panama Hat! All Panama Hats are handwoven with Toquilla Straw Fiber in the city of Montecristi, located in Ecuador, South America.
The Panama hat is a traditional brimmed hat made from the plaited leaves of the “Paja Toquilla” straw plant. Straw hats woven in Ecuador, like many other 19th and early 20th century South American goods, were shipped first to the Isthmus of Panama before sailing for their destinations around the world. For some products, the name of their point of international sale rather than their place of domestic origin stuck, hence “Panama hats.”
