I’ve been offering this hat for years. It’s a better grade Genuine Panama Hat, hand-woven in Cuenca (Ecuador) with a woven-edge brim.
The style is a classic Optimo. In Ecuador, they call it the Colonial or the Natural. This is probably the original Panama hat style.
Shaped in Ecuador, finished by hand in Hawaii. The black grosgrain bow is shaped by hand. Bow and ribbon are sewn by hand, as is the inside band.
Available in 11 sizes. Wear it with the brim turned down in front, or turned down all around. Roll it up, or not. Your choice.
