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.

Christys' imports its Panama hat bodies from Ecuador. They arrive to the UK in rough, hand-woven straw cone shapes, where they are then finished and blocked by hand according to time-tested, traditional methods. A very tight, fine weave marks all the Panama hats in the Maestro Collection.

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.

A Maestro Panama hat will make you feel like a million bucks. The bleached white Maestros have the supple, linen-like feel unique to very fine Panama hats. Maestro Panama Fedora, Gambler, and Outback style hats have the wide brim of a gentleman or an adventurer. Choose yours with confidence, knowing the Christys' label ensures the highest standard of quality and tradition. We stand behind these magnificent straw hats, and in the unlikely event that you don’t love your purchase, we’ll refund or exchange it – guaranteed.
