Classic Fedora Panama Hat with a twist
The CLASSIC Fedora Original Panama Hat by The Hip Hat has been tightly handwoven by expert artisans in Ecuador using only natural and sustainable toquilla straw. Toquilla straw is a renewable natural resource made from young toquilla palm fronds that are harvested without harming the main tree.
The CLASSIC Fedora Original Panama Hat is an iconic headwear style crafted by hand from genuine Ecuadorian Toquilla straw, using ancient weaving techniques.
The CLASSIC Fedora Original Panama Hat is a unique headwear piece embodying timeless sophistication, lightness, comfort, and style.
- Beautiful and tight herringbone-like weaving pattern throughout the hat, known as the "Llano" weave, providing UPF 50 UVA / UVB sun protection. The "Llano" weave provides a densely woven structure, which produces a durable and smooth surface throughout the hat. Because of its intricate design, Original Panama Hats produced using the "Llano" weave take longer to finish.
- Indented and pinched front crown with a thinner tear-drop shape.
- 2.3" to 3" brim (brim size depends on hat sizing) and a 4.3" crown.
- Elegantly enhanced by a blue and red grosgrain ribbon band and an inner cotton sweatband.
- Shipped and delivered in a specialty and custom-made hat box appropriate for travel and storage.
- 100% Hand-made with toquilla straw.
Each individual Original Panama Hat by The Hip Hat is handwoven. As a result, products may have subtle variations from one piece to the next, caused by variations in the toquilla straw as well as the hand crafting. Slight variations may include measurements. Please be aware that original Panama Hats are one-of-a-kind creations and not factory manufactured making your purchase special and truly unique.
