The hat that is called a "Panama Hat" is machine made from a fiber that is grown in Ecuador...it is made there too.



Panama does have its own hat but it is made from a fiber that is more stiff. See the photo (link attached below).

That hat is different. It is woven by hand. The best hats come from Cocle Province in the Interior of Panama. See the photo in the 2nd link.



According to the legend, when the construction for the Panama canal was underway, Teddy Roosevelt, the U.S. president came to Panama to view the progress. A Panamanian went to Ecuador and bought some of those soft fiber hats with the black hat band and brought them pack to Panama. He awarded one to President Roosevelt who liked it and wore it. All the members of his staff bought one and wore them. When they returned to Washington, a member of the Press Corps asked them about the hat. "They're Panama Hats." was the answer. And their fame was established.

Made out of vampire skin? Well, they are translucent, light and airy. But, they are actually made of “Paja Toquilla” or by the plant scientifically named, “Carludovica Palmata.” Panama hats are a great part of history and have made an incredible difference on Ecuador’s evolution and economy, and an amazing difference on the world in fashion, art, and the outdoors. Continue reading as we give you a look behind the hat into its making and how it evolves throughout centuries.



Panama Hats are traditional brimmed hats that have been made by hand in Ecuador for centuries. These beautiful hats date back to the early 1600’s. After the Spaniards’ conquest of the Panama Canal they wanted to extend their search further south to discover other riches they had heard mention of, and that would begin the interesting relation between Panama and Ecuador.

Skeptics would suggest there is likely no monster in the lake at all. But this news about the lack of sightings poses a big problem for those who believe in the creature's existence. The fact that no Nessie report has been registered in 18 months means that, even if it existed, it is likely no longer there.
