For those who want the best, look no further than the Superfino Montecristi Panama hat.
Hand-woven in Montecristi, Ecuador, by craftsmen and craftswomen, using skills passed down for generations, this hat is the result of months of precision weaving. The weavers of the finest toquila-palm straw work at night and in the earliest hours of the morning, when the temperature is cooler and the humidity at its highest, starting at the apex of the crown. The finished plaited, smooth and supple material has the softness of silk.
The Superfino Montecristi Panama hat can take up to 3 months to create. You can count on one hand the number of weavers able to produce such an intricate finish, and we work closely with the craftspeople to ensure these skills are passed on to the next generation of weavers.
The black band and bow is a nod to the tradition of mourning bands that were worn on hats in the year of Prince Albert's death, which then became the fashion. HatsFashion Superfino Panamas are finished with a high-grade grosgrain ribbon, the highest quality, soft tan-leather sweatband and a silicon finish inside the pinch to ensure shape retention for years to come.
The Superfino Montecristi Panama hat comes with a complimentary HatsFashion white hat box.
