Hat History:
The Panama Hat is a product unique to Ecuador who began producing the hat in 1630s but didn't actively export them till the early 1800s.
The hats were sold in Panamanian ports, resulting in travelers and merchants associating the fine quality and workmanship with the country
of Panama. These craftsmen hand weave fibers of dried palm leaves, often taking up to 8 months to produce a hat. It was Ecuador's number one export
and seemed to define style and elegance. Famous wearers include Humphrey Bogart, Gary Cooper, Churchill, and Truman. While new styles and colors
are constantly being developed, these traditional artisans are committed to maintaining the quality and success of the Panama Hat.
