Mens Panama Hats

If you love Panama hats, you may know of the long and storied history of this unique head piece. The name is a misnomer as the original Panama hat were actually produced in Ecuador. The name came into use as workers on the Panama Canal donned these great sun shades to protect themselves from heat and sun exposure.

Using the toquila plant, the Incas are believed to have been the first to fashion the rudimentary version of what later became Panama hats. As this unique headwear spread toward Europe, the royal families of both France and England became fans of this sophisticated hat. Real Panama hats are hand woven. The less perceptible the weave of the toquila, the finer the hat is considered to be.
