Panama Hat Havana

Description

Panama Hat Havana

If you’re looking for one Panama hat that does everything well, the Havana is it. The teardrop crown with its two elegant side indentations creates a silhouette that is simultaneously classic and relaxed — refined enough for a wedding, easy enough for a weekend at the beach. It is the most universally flattering style we make and consistently our customers’ first choice.

Handwoven in Montecristi, Ecuador by master artisans using traditional toquilla straw techniques. Lightweight, breathable, and built to last a lifetime. Each hat is unique — no two are identical.

What Makes the Havana Special

The teardrop crown is the Havana’s defining feature — a gently rounded top that tapers slightly, complemented by two soft indentations pressed into the sides during the blocking process. The result is a hat with natural elegance and balance that works effortlessly with almost any outfit and suits almost any face shape. It is the closest thing in our collection to a truly all-purpose Panama hat.
