The hat is made by hand on wooden forms so that it takes on the desired shape of the crown and brim. It is handled gently throughout the process so that it maintains the traditional and unmistakable elasticity of panama fibers.
This drop hat has a head in the typical Doria shape, or teardrop, from which the name of the hat is derived. It was made in the color white (typically said blicciado when it comes to Panama), grosgrain belt in the color black and enriched by the leather details and "Deco-D" piping. The hat also has holes on the circumference of the head positioned above the girdle thanks to which it is cool and bright. The presence of these holes on the semi-finished product is referred to as the "Panama Brisa Semicalado".
Panama hat: the History
The material used for this hat is Panama and has an incredible history. It is a weave of strands of "paja-toquilla," a straw made from the leaves of the Carludovica palmata typical of tropical America. These threads are collected in the towns of Montecristi and Jipijapa by artisans scattered in small villages and then marketed as weaves in the city of Cuenca.The tenderest shoots of the plant are washed, boiled, sun-dried and later kept exposed to the night breeze. This process allows for the natural color typical of Panama. The final step is to dye the straw in baths of natural tones, which allows the chaparral to have the desired color.
Panama craftsmanship is done entirely by hand and is an important part of Ecuador's cultural heritage. Its ancient production techniques were recognized in 2012 as an Intangible World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Depending on the type and degree of weaving given to the straw, Panama takes on different designations and qualities. The finest quality can involve up to eight months of manual labor by local weavers.
