Cuenca double woven semi-calado. "Cuenca" because it comes from the city of Cuenca Ecuador. It is a genuine Panama hat, but it is the Cuenca version of it. "Double woven" because it uses two times more straw then a brisa or single woven hat. It is a very closed weave pattern, but not as much as a Montecristi hat. "Semi-calado" because of the vent holes woven into the side of the crown of the hat, making this a very breathable and durable headgear for intense sun conditions!
Finer woven then our Fino fino Panama hats can only be woven with the finest straw and by a very skilled craftsman due to the extremely fine weave. This hat can have 1000+WPI! Amazing it ever existed! This is a special order item so please have patience with this one. WPI range 600-1000 Average is 700 WPIThe Classic Plantation Panama hat is known for a larger brim and great sun protection. Uses the same block as Fedora #1, but the difference is in the brim, and blocked in standard oval.
The front of the crown is 4.1" - 4.3", and the back of the crown is lower then the front measuring between 3.3" - 3.5" giving it a sloping appearance from the side profile. The height on the side is 4.1" - 4.5".
This Classic Plantation Panama hat is blocked on a semi oval hat block rather then a perfectly round one to fit better.
Snap brim on the front causing the brim to tip downward slightly and upward in the back just a little.
Standard Brim Size: Perfect for most, provides good sun protection and a great balance of style.
Each Panama hat comes with one hat band of your choice, but you may want to include a few extra hat bands- a quick way to change the personality of your Panama hat!
Each and every Panama hat we sell is handmade right here in Ecuador, so no two hats are exactly alike.
