From Mark Twain to FDR, the most well-dressed men have borrowed one of Central America's warm-weather staples: the panama hat. This one is from Paulmann Hats & Accessories (one of the most authentic makers of the classic style), and it's handmade using the finest strands of natural toquilla straw, so each one is truly unique. We dig it not only because it's great-looking, but it's also finished with a cool indigo band, and that's right up our alley.

• Natural toquilla straw, cotton chambray.
• Import.
• Since this item is indigo dyed, it's prone to crocking, or color transfer, so wear (and wash) it with dark colors till it's worn in.
