Failsworth Fedora Panama Hat

We are delighted to have found a new supplier of genuine panama hats; having been stockists of the Olney Panamas for many years we were left with a large void when Olney sadly ceased trading. So we're excited to launch our first Panama hat range from Failsworth Hats. The range includes seven panama hats, all hand-woven from the finest Toquilla straw in Ecuador.

If you like something a little different from the mainstream, then the Fedora panama hat in Tobacco golden brown offers you something a little more distinctive. Failsworth panama hats are hand-woven in Ecuador using skills passed down through generations using toquilla straw. The brown panama hat is the perfect comrade for a hot sunny day, whether it be in the beer garden or in the cricket pavilion!

The original Panama hat is lightweight, breathable and incredibly comfortable to wear. Due to the density of the weave, the hat will naturally help protect you from the sun, providing sun protection to UPF 50.

The origins of the Panama hat evolved as a cottage industry along the Ecuadorian coast, they were then sold across Panama, where it was labelled the "Panama hat". The genuine Panama is one of the most iconic hats in history, beginning in the early to mid-1600's. Many notable people in history have donned a Panama hat including Napoleon III, King Edward VII and Winston Churchill.
