Similar a Montecristi weave and many times called a "Montecristi hat" and sold as such in the open market, but it actually isn't. It is made in Cuenca Ecuador so it is a genuine "Panama hat" but not a "Montecristi Panama hat" since it was not made in the city of Montecristi.

This Cuenca version of the "Montecristi hat" goes through the normal treatments of a Cuenca hat. The weave pattern is looser and if you hold it to the sun you will see it is a more open weave, not as air tight as a Montecristi hat. To the untrained eye it does look a lot like a Montecristi hat and in many ways even the coloration can be very similar. That doesn't make it a bad hat, it just makes it a Cuenca hat. They have their upside in price!

Cuenca Grade 4 - Similar to a Montecristi Fino Grade type of weave

Blocked in a long oval, can be requested in any type of oval (standard oval, long oval, or X-long oval)

Crown: Front 3.6"/9cm, Back 3.8"/9.5cm

This Panama hat is the classic fedora style, known also as a center dent crown, due to the dent that runs down the center of the crown.

The classic fedora is blocked on a semi long oval hat block rather then a perfectly round one to fit the average person better.

Snap brim on the front causing the brim to tip downward slightly and upward in the back just a little.

Stingy Brim: Almost the smallest brim we can make and still be called a brim! Snap brim on the front causing the brim to tip downward slightly and upward in the back just a little. Not a lot of shade protection, primarily it is a style thing! Some people just look great in short brims! This is a very unique brim for its rather small size.

Each Panama hat comes with one hat band of your choice, but you may want to include a few extra hat bands- a quick way to change the personality of your Panama hat!

Each and every Panama hat we sell is handmade right here in Ecuador, so no two hats are exactly alike.
