Genuine Panama Hat 'Basic' Ivory Fedora

An entirely handwoven Panama Fedora of understated elegance, crafted in Ecuador by skilled master weavers using traditional techniques passed down through generations. Each hat takes more than a day to complete by hand, reflecting the care and precision behind every weave.

This lightweight and breathable model offers a great introduction to the world of Genuine Panama hats. While it doesn't feature the finest weaves found in our superior ranges, it still delivers exceptional quality and craftsmanship.

Many retailers would sell this quality weave as a foldable hat; however, our Master Hatter does not recommend doing so with this specific model. Please explore our finer, more flexible weaves for a rollable option
