PANAMA HATS
Panama Hat Store
Panama hats are made from
carludovica palmata plants, and come in a wid variety of styles and quality.
A Panama hat is a reference to the straw material that the hat is made from. It is neither a style nor a quality, but rather a hat - in any style and of any quality - made from the plant carludovica palmata, which grows in the coastal lowlands of western South America (not in Panama). Therefore, wide ranges of hat styles in a never-ending range of qualities are rightly sold as Panama hats.
