Quality is a heavily disputed subject when
dealing with
Panama straw hats. There are two main processes in their creation:
weaving and blocking. The best way to gauge the quality of the weave is
to count the number of weaves per square inch. Fewer than 300 would be
considered low quality. The rarest and most expensive have 1600-2000
weaves per square inch, and it is not unheard of for these to sell for
thousands. There are many levels of quality in between 300 and 1600.
One must be very careful if purchasing a high-priced panama Fedora hat

A Panama hat or just Panama is a traditional
brimmed
hat that is made from the plaited leaves of the panama-hat palm (also
called jipijapa or toquilla) (Carludovica palmata). Despite the name,
genuine Panama hats are made in Ecuador, not Panama; their name comes
from the fact that they came to prominence during the construction of
the Panama Canal. When Teddy Roosevelt visited the Canal, he wore such
a hat, which increased its popularity. The Ecuadorian town of Cuenca is
the main producer; however, the town of Montecristi has the reputation
of producing the finest quality Panama straw Fedora hats.
