A heralded symbol of refinement and sophistication, the Panama hat has for centuries been celebrated as the prince of hats. With its unique combination of style, prestige and utility, the Panama hat has it all.

If Panama hats are what you are looking for, you have arrived. We are ready to suit you with a straw hat that will stand the test of time. Each and every one of the Panama hats we sell was hand-woven of toquilla straw by skilled artisans in Ecuador, using the method that has been passed down over centuries from generation to generation. After being woven, the hats were individually steam-blocked by expert craftsmen whose tradition defines the very city from which their trade hails: Cuenca, Ecuador.

We at Panador Hats sell only well-constructed hats. What this means is that you will not find on our site a floppy Panama hat that was improperly molded. While cheap hats bought elsewhere fall easily out of shape or take on unwanted characteristics over time, our Panama hats will maintain the integrity of their craftsmen’s intentions and only improve when adjusting to your head.

Take a look at our Panama hats and you’ll immediately see the difference. Our photos have not been doctored; each Panama hat feels just as good as it looks. So go ahead, order one today. 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.
