THE ART OF WEAVING

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 its 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.

Love my new hat!

Just received my new “Sorento”. It is beautifully made and feather light. It runs a little large, but I added one of the sweat bands and now it is a perfect fit. Love it!

Beautiful hat

I've purchased several Panama hats over the years and this is the nicest one I've bought so far. The weave is so nice and feels nice and soft. The darker tan color looks good with the brown leather hat band. I've already received compliments. Looks really sharp.
