Panama Straw Hat L NWT

Panama hats are made in Ecuador, specifically around Montechristi on the coast, and around Cuenca in the mountains.  Mexico and Colombia make top-quality Panamas as well.  Panama hats gained popularity in the 19th century during the California Gold Rush when many people traveled through the Isthmus of Panama.  The name was further ingrained in popular culture when President Theodore Roosevelt was photographed wearing a Panama hat during his visit to the Panama Canal in 1904. Toquilla straw is a type of straw that is woven from fibers from a palm tree that is native to the Ecuadorian coast. It is considered to be the best quality straw in the world for hats. Toquilla straw is off-whitish in color, but it can be dyed to create a variety of colors.  M.S.R.P. $114 Also have a yellow one for sale.
