Two misconceptions about Panama hat:

First, the birthplace of the Panama hat is not Panama, but Ecuador, it was brought to Panama by Ecuadorian hat manufacturers, because Panama top hat is famous in Panama known as the Panama hat.

Second, the Panama top hat is a special fiber woven hat, rather than a pure straw hat.

The difference between the Panama hat and the boater hat is the top and brim of the hat. The top of the Panama hat is concave for easy handling, and the brim is boundless, so Panama top hat is sometimes turned up.

The design of the Panama top hat is unique, with a high crown and a wide, shapeable brim. This design is not only elegant and gentlemanly, but also loved by fashion people. Whether worn daily or for important occasions, the Panama top hat can show the wearer's unique taste and personality ‌. In addition, the material of the Panama top hat is light and breathable, suitable for long wear on hot summer days, and the wide brim design not only adds shade, but also adds a bit of mystery to the face ‌.

Panama hat is not only a fashion accessory, but also contains rich historical and cultural heritage. Panama top hat was Roosevelt's signature gear when he visited the construction site of the Panama Canal, leaving behind a classic photo ‌. In the fashion world, the Panama top hat is also a representative of classic style, often appearing in classic Hollywood movies, such as James Stewart and Robert Redford, and further enhance its fashion status ‌.
