They have been woven there for centuries using toquilla palm grown in the coastal lowlands. The name Panama stuck because the hats became famous when workers wore them during the construction of the Panama Canal, and later when Theodore Roosevelt was photographed wearing one during his visit to the canal site.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat are the benefits of wearing Panama hats?\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePanama hats offer excellent sun protection while keeping your head cool. The toquilla straw weave blocks UV rays and allows air to circulate, which helps regulate temperature in hot weather. The material is lightweight, so you can wear the hat all day without discomfort. Quality Panama hats are also durable and can be rolled for travel without damage, making them ideal for holidays and outdoor events.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow can you tell a real Panama hat?\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA genuine Panama hat is hand woven from toquilla straw in Ecuador. Look inside the crown for an even, tight weave with no loose fibres or machine stitching. Real Panama hats feel soft and pliable, not stiff or plasticky. Finer weaves have more rows per inch and feel smoother to the touch. The hat should flex without cracking. If it comes with a certificate of origin or details about the weaver, that is a good sign of authenticity.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"straw-panama-fedora-hat","title":"Classic Panama Straw Fedora Hat","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"129\" data-end=\"372\"\u003eClassic Panama straw paper fedora with a wide flat brim, and black grosgrain ribbon for a timeless summer look.
