 Only buy a panama hat with a sweatband, which helps keep your hat in place and prevents it from stretching out. It also prevents it from scratching your forehead.

• Don’t wear it in the rain; water can cause the straw to lose its shape.
• Only handle the hat by its brim.
• When resting your hat on a table, rest it on its crown (upside down), rather than its brim. As well, when hanging it up, make sure the peg rests on the sweatband, not the straw.
• To clean it, simply use a soft bristled brush.
• When you’re not wearing it, store it in its box or in a dry, cool place.

Bogart Panama hat By Ultrafino Panama Hat

 I recently purchased a fine hat, the Bogart Teardrop, ultrafinopanamahat.com for my trip to Central and South America.  I ordered it less than 10 days before my scheduled departure and was glad to have received it the day before I left.  It fit perfectly and kept my head covered and cooler in the blazing hot sun (about 10 degrees north of the equator).  Here I am in the Miraflores Locks of the Panama Canal waiting to make full transit from the Caribbean Sea to the Pacific Ocean.  As head coverings go, life is too short to limit one’s self to the style of a baseball cap.  I look forward to enjoying this hat this summer around town and at the beach.  I’m really glad I cam across your website.  By the way, this style of hat was much cheaper and of superior quality compared to hats being sold in and around Panama.  Thanks again.

When President Theodore Roosevelt arrived at the Panama Canal inauguration in 1906 handsomely clad in a “refined Homburg made of fine straw”-he had no idea what an impact his casual fashion statement would make. The new look immediately brought on a series of postcards and photographs that quickly circulated the globe. And ever since its first presidential debut the hat, which was made in Ecuador, was coined the ‘Panama Hats’.

Today, the Panama trend lives on. Its hype in Italy was started by no other than Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, who looks just as smooth as I imagine Roosevelt did. Surely, after its leadership appearance along with its sex appeal and elegance, the Panama (Ecuadorian Hat) will be spotted in many more fashionable cities of the globe.

‘Toquilla’ straw hat, like many other 19th and early 20th century South American goods, was shipped first to the Isthmus of Panama before sailing for its final destination. The ‘Fino’ from Montecristi and Jipijapa (Ecuador) adopted then the name of its international point of sale, instead of its real origins’.

It became popular in the United States during the Californina Gold Rush (1848–1855). But it was the picture of President Theodore Roosevelt, who wore that hat during his visit to the Panama Canal construction, which traveled around the world and made it internationally known.

Soon, the legend from Montecristi, the ‘Ultrafino’, the unfairly called ‘Panama’, became the favorite hat of international leaders, politicians and cinema stars. The prince of all straw hats.

Lets spread the word: the finest ‘Toquilla’ straw hats don’t come FROM PANAMA!. They are the achievement of months and months of laborious and intensive work by the hands of expert weavers from Pilé, Montecristi, Jipijapa and Cuenca…. ECUADOR!!!!
