Buy Panama Hat with Discount and Free Shipping

Authentic Panama hats are known for their high prices, but with Montecuador, you can obtain a quality hat with a discount and free shipping. Follow this guide to learn how.

A Brief History of the Montecristi Panama Hat

Although commonly referred to as a “Panama hat,” this luxury accessory has its roots in Ecuador, specifically in Montecristi. The name became popular in the 19th century when workers at the Panama Canal wore them for sun protection. Later, in 1906, President Theodore Roosevelt was photographed wearing one during his visit to the canal, which solidified its status as a global symbol of elegance.

Montecristi remains the heart of this craftsmanship. Each hat is handwoven using traditional techniques and toquilla straw, a flexible and durable local material that allows for the creation of high-quality hats capable of lasting generations. The artisanal dedication of this community has made Montecristi hats highly prized luxury items worldwide.

Characteristics of an Authentic Panama Hat

An authentic Panama hat is entirely handmade in Ecuador. Its quality is measured in points per inch, ranging from grade 11-12 to grade 50, with the latter being the finest and most expensive. Montecuador specializes in the production and marketing of toquilla straw hats in various grades to suit every style and budget.
