Description:
The panama is, despite its name, of Ecuadorian origin, and ABP buys its braid directly in Ecuador. The braid is molded (ecuadorian palm young shoots) and assembled in Paris, just as the alligator piece.
For this Made in France, high-end hat, we have decided to go for a high quality of braiding, the Grade 13 Cuenca.
The quality of a panama hat is determined by its braiding fineness.
Worn by the South America indigenous since 4000 years BC, this hat traditionally called "Sombrero de Paja Toquilla" (literally "Straw hat") encountered a global success when the Ecuadorian workers arrived to build the Panama Canal in 1881. A number of celebrities contributed to its reputation, Théodor Roosevelt, Orson Wells or Winston Churchill.
