Experience the elegance of a genuine SCALA Ecuadorian Panama Safari Hat, where traditional handweaving meets American craftsmanship. Made from 100% authentic Panama straw and handwoven in Ecuador, this distinguished hat is shaped and finished in the USA for a refined look that never goes out of style.
The classic center-dent crown with a front pinch gives this Panama hat its distinctive safari-inspired silhouette. At 5.5 inches tall, the relatively high crown creates a bold, elegant profile, while the 2⅜-inch downward-sloping brim provides a polished finish and practical shade without the exaggerated proportions of a wide-brim sun hat.
A traditional 16-ligne grosgrain ribbon hatband wraps the crown, finished with a neatly tied side bow and signature SCALA pin. These understated details complement the natural beauty of the handwoven straw, making this hat equally appropriate for casual summer outings and dressier occasions.
Inside, a soft cotton sweatband adds comfort, while the covered crown tip provides a neatly finished interior.
For added practicality, the straw is treated with Teflon® to help repel water, oils, and stains. This protective finish helps maintain the hat's appearance through everyday wear, although the hat should not be considered waterproof.
Whether you're dressing for a summer wedding, attending an outdoor event, traveling, or simply enjoying a sunny afternoon, this genuine Panama straw safari hat offers an appealing combination of heritage craftsmanship, timeless styling, and everyday versatility.
