Ecua-Andino HatsGenuine Panama Hat - Customizable Band Color - Classic Summer Fedora - Toquilla Straw - Handwoven in Ecuador by Ecua-Andino

Was worried that this might be a disappointment but it is a fantastic fedora! It looks stunning and fits well. It isn’t a heavy bulky hat, very light weight and comfortable. The materials are put together superbly. The company is a pleasure to deal with.

Great value and great hat

This beautiful Panama Hat came in a hatbox exclusively fit for the hat! It’s well made and fits perfectly. It has a handle so that if you travel it is easy to carry! I’ve gotten so many compliments on it!! I highly recommend this hat!

My hat lasted a good four years before a crack developed in the top front. I still wore it just fine, but I eventually was caught by a light rain and that was the end of my hat. I should have turned around. I did not, and paid for my temerity. It lasted a good five years before its demise.

I had quite a few of these "Panama" hats over the years, some costing as much as $60. But none have compared to the comfort or quality of this one. I was concerned about buying something like a hat online because comfort is very important to me. This one is the most comfortable one by far that I've ever had.FYI: Genuine Panama hats are all made in Ecuador, not Panama. During the building of the Panama canal, President Roosevelt visited the construction sight and was seen in one of these hats made in Ecuador. When he returned to the United States, many people asked about where he got his hat, and the president, knowing nothing about its origin, stated the truth; he got the hat in Panama. The hats hence became known as "Panama hats."

After being taken advantage of by other online retailers I decided to take a chance of this one. Best decision I have made in a long time. This is a wonderful hat that fits perfectly. Given that I wear a XXL hat it is hard to find a good fit. This feels like it was made using my head as the mold. Fits, is very comfortable and it arrived very fast. Can't ask for anything more.

good

The hat is far larger that the provided sizing chart says it should be. It falls off my heat and certainly will be blown off in a breeze. No return is available per vendor.
