Handwoven in Ecuador. Hand-finished in the US. Measurements are approximate, this is a handwoven product and actual measurement may slightly vary.
The art of weaving — whether it’s a tapestry or an article of clothing — represents an important livelihood for many men and women in Ecuador. In particular, the small village of Montecristi or Cuenca is internationally renowned for the high quality it’s weaving — of “Panama Hats”. And before you think this is a typo, believe it or not, Panama hats have always come from Ecuador…not Panama!
Panama hats are made from toquilla straw, hand-split into strands not much thicker than thread and woven so finely, at first a Panama hat appears to be made from linen. Each Panama hat is woven by a single artisan, hand-blocked, and takes months to complete.
Thank you for your support!
Determining your hat size is quick and easy. All you need is some sort of tape measure or string that can be measured. You can also watch our video that shows how we measure hat size.
Place the tape around your head right above your ear. It should across your mid-forehead, 1/8" above your ear, completely circling your head, and taut.
Then use the chart below to find your 'Label' size. If you are in between sizes choose the next largest size.

How do you know a great product? It's gifted, worn daily for four years until it begins to show wear (by a very active hiker), and said giftee suggests they might be ready for another. DONE. Next step is get one for myself!
So far so good
My Gatsby has been to Greece, Crete, and Germany and several states in the US It has protected by head for several hundred holes of golf. But, alas, it is showing its age and has a few age spots of its own (I can relate)! Plus, packable makes air travel a little less stressful when trying to catch a few winks with out crushing the rim.
So, the crushable fedora seemed like the just the ticket! It is comfortable, stylish, cool, protective, and CRUSHABLE! And I have a stylish hat without a sweat stain around the crown! Have no fear, Gatsby retains his golfing flair!
This hat arrived with great anticipation and on opening the box exceeded my expectations, as did the Classic Fedora in wheat that I purchased earlier this year. The fit is perfect. The style is eye catching and the craftsmanship is remarkable. And for someone who's never worn hats before I can't wait to wear this one when the weather changes in spring.
The hat is just as advertised. It's comfortable, looks great and I am wearing it often. Ultrafino went above and beyond when I told the hat was a little large and they sent me a sizer kit that makes the hat fit wonderful. Oh yea, the kit they sent to me was free. How cool is that.
