The Panador Hat Company was founded in 2008 to accomplish two objectives:

• Sell a great hat
• Support the people and culture that handcraft these quality hats

Panador & Ecuador

The Panador Hat Company sells only handwoven straw hats — Panama Hats — made by Ecuadorian artisans.

Panador is well connected with the hat makers of Ecuador. We have a thorough understanding of the materials, hard work, and long-standing tradition that goes into every panama hat we sell.

We work directly with the weavers and finishers in Ecuador, and we travel there regularly. It's the only way we can ensure that our products are of the highest quality.

When you buy a panama hat from us, you can be confident that it is made of only the finest materials available. We’ll make sure you are completely satisfied with your new Panador hat.
