Are Panama Hats really made in Ecuador?

I bought my Panama hats, finally. These are made in Montecristi, Ecuador and each one is made by Modesto Mero Pachay, proprietor of Modesto Hats.
The guy that was in the Facebook post I did on this adventure is the man mentioned here and he's been making hats, the Panama hats for 27 years.
I really enjoyed my experience with him and I encourage anyone visiting the Manta area to take a half day trip to meet this man and look at his hats. And buy one!

That is a toss up, they both look good on you. You don't need to smoke it but you holding a Cuban cigar with one of those hats on would make a great photo.

Nice! Hopefully you've worn them by now. The smaller one is my fave. Looking forward to getting my own.

They don't fit me so good now because I have hair so I don't wear them much.

Those are some great looking hats. I like the one with the bigger brim for more eye-shade. My current summertime hat is a black leather Australian Outback style. It doesn't get warm enough here for a lighter hat like yours.

Unfortunately, these panama hats are not suitable for the warmer climates either. They have no ventilation in them at all. To tell the truth, I wish I hadn't spent the money on them.

@@DonShader I bought my hat from Modesto, online, delivered to the UK. I love it. Mine is approx. 28x28 per inch. I get what you say about ventilation......... So maybe a cheaper one with a lesser count would ventilate better.... Perhaps. But the finer ones sure are a work of art. 😎
