The process of handweaving Panama Straw requires precision and skill. Each straw hood is woven from natural toquilla straw grown in Ecuador. Each hood is woven by a single weaver and takes anywhere from 8-10 hours to complete the weaving process. Panama straw is weather resistant and provides natural UV protection. Due to the handwoven pattern and the natural dye, each hat is considered one of a kind.SPECS- Natural Hand Woven Panama Straw- Brim: 3.5" - Crown: 5" - 1" Black Suede Leather Band- Gold Screw Closure- Made in the USASIZING54 cm - Small56 cm - Medium58 cm - Large
