Panamas & Sun Hats for Women

Yes. We can use our monogramming machine to personalise your Panama's leather sweatband with up to four letters. However, doing so will make your Panama non-refundable and non-exchangeable.

Our Panamas are handmade by artisans using generations-old techniques in Ecuador. Each one is unique and some even have cigar stamps to signify the weaver's seal of approval.

Montecristi produces the finest Panamas. They can take up to six months to weave with extremely thinly split palm fibres to achieve the silky texture and extreme lightweight that they boast. Our Montecristi Panamas are priced according to the level of craftmanship involved in their making.

The Panama hat should sit comfortably on your head without needing too much pressure. Wear your Panama flat on your head for a classic look, or at an angle for a more jaunty look.

Panamas must always be handled by the brim and not by the crown. Handling a Panama by the crown will cause the material to irreversibly split.
