Panador’s Maestro Fedora is a beautiful hat.

The Panador Maestro Panama Hat Collection

Our collection of fine Maestro Panama hats is finished by Christys' of London, one of the most revered names in the hat industry. Christys' was established in 1773 and brings over two centuries of hat-making heritage to modern millinery. A very tight, fine weave marks the Maestro Panama hats.

These Panama hats are hand-picked in Ecuador for their high-quality weave before they are transported to the UK and treated with Christys' specialized finishing process. Modern updates to classic Panama hat styles include a Teflon coating that provides resistance to stains and water and an interior covered-crown tip that helps the Maestro Panama hat keep its shape.

The Fedora Style

The fedora is the oldest and most popular style of Panama hats. Our fedora Panama hats are characterized by a creased sweeping crown, pinched at the front, with the brim dipping slightly over the eyes.

You’ve seen the fedora Panama hat style on historical figures like Napoleon, Churchill, and Roosevelt, and popular figures like Bogart. It’s been a fashion staple throughout recent history. Today, the fedora is our most popular Panama hat style. It’s still the perfect straw hat for the beach, sporting events, your favorite smoking lounge, and all types of classy occasions.
