Cuban Hats

Did you know that the hats most people refer to as “Cuban hats” are actually Panama hats? And did you know that Panama hats hail not from Panama, but from Ecuador? They received their name after they became popular among the men working on the Panama Canal: hence, the Panama hat. In nearby Cuba, as well, the hats took off in popularity, prompting many to refer to them as Cuban hats.

These hats are now manufactured not only in Ecuador but also by other fine manufacturers around the world. Using exceptional straw sometimes woven by hand, these “Cuban” hats offer a classy timeless look, plus great protection from the sun. Bailey and Christy’s of London are two of the top brands currently producing fine Cuban hats with interesting design elements.
