PANAMA HATS
The integrated UV protection and details like lightly woven mesh windows in the crown make the Panama hat the perfect companion on sunny days whilst allowing for a breeze on your head. Panama hats from Stetson come in different designs. The sporty traveller hat with a broad brim, the classic trilby with a raindrop-shaped crown, which has dents in the side, the authentic Bogart hat and the modernised Homburg style.
After Panama hats from Stetson have been woven by hand in the renowned Montecristi factory, they get their characteristic shape through moisture, warmth and pressure. The Panama hat's exclusivity is thanks to top-quality manufacturing. The production can be very elaborate and tedious, depending on the thickness of the fibre. Independent Ecuadorian hat makers often weave these exquisite hats at home and actually cultivate the toquilla plant themselves. The Panama hat gets its characteristic light colour when the leaves are boiled, dried and roasted on a fire after adding sulphur.
LEATHER HATS
No matter whether you are on a safari or taking a daring trip through the tropics - the more adventures a leather hat takes part in, the more it unfolds its outer beauty.
