Description

Genuine Panama hats are woven from palm leaves. The finer the braid, the more expensive the product.
The hats, which originally protected banana plantation workers from the hot sun, are 100% made from natural materials.
The hat blanks are woven in mountain villages and the final size of the hat is pressed in small factories, which also attach the size-marking bands. The finest Panama hats are worth the price of the most expensive men's hats and can cost over USD 500.
A well-made genuine Panama hat can withstand rolling and folding. This makes it easy to judge whether a hat is genuine.
A Panama hat is the best hat for hot summer weather, protecting from the sun and not causing sweat.
