Panama Hats

Most people search for a "Panama hat from Panama" — but the real story starts in Ecuador. Every genuine Panama hat we write about here is a Montecristi hat, handwoven from toquilla straw by artisans in Manabí, a tradition UNESCO recognized as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

This is where you'll find everything to choose, wear, and care for an authentic Panama hat: how to tell a genuine Panama hat from a cheap straw imitation, style guides for men's Panama hats and women's Panama hats, sizing advice, and the traditional weaving process behind every handmade Panama hat we sell.

Whether you're after a lightweight straw Panama hat for summer, a classic Panama hat for a wedding, or you just want to understand what makes a Panama Montecristi hat worth its price, start here.
