Panama Hat
The finer the lines of Panama straw hat weaving, the more expensive it will be. In the era of manual manufacturing, only people with status and wealth can afford to wear the straw hat. The soft and delicate Panama straw hat is made of a special kind of grass, but it is not as hard as the domestic straw products. It feels very firm. The handle of the Manama straw hat feels like fine silk. The hat box is also very delicate and exquisite. The material of the box is also very soft. It looks like a wooden box, but feels like silk. The straw hat can be rolled like a piece of white paper into a cylinder with an oblique triangle shape, and stored in a delicate box. When it is worn, it can be opened again without deformation or any trace of wrinkles. Wearing it on the head, it is absolutely civilized and has a gentleman’s temperament.
Panama hats is the best straw hat in the world.Many people don’t know that Panama straw hat is not from Panama, but originally from Ecuador. In the 16th century, when Spain invaded Ecuador and saw the local aborigines wearing a headscarf, it was called “Toquilla”, which means “headscarf” in Spanish and gradually evolved into the prototype of “Panama straw hat”
And “torquira” is also used to name the raw material for weaving Panama straw hat, namely “torquira grass”. Torquin grass is mainly grown in Ecuador. Its leaves contain long and thin fibers, which are light in weight, strong in toughness and easy to bend. It is the best material for weaving grass. Combined with good hand weaving technology, Panama straw hat has the characteristics of cool, light and not easy to break. It was selected into the intangible cultural heritage list by UNESCO in 2012.
The reason why it is called “Panama straw hats” mainly depends on the former president of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt. In 1906, when he attended the opening ceremony of the Panama Canal, he gave a speech to thank someone for sending him “Panama straw hats”, so he was gradually called open. Before that, the workers on the Panama canal construction site were all manned. Most people who go to America through the Panama Canal to search for gold will also wear one.
In the 1930s and 1940s, Panama straw hats were seen in many classic Hollywood films. Because movies appear too often, they have been promoted all over the world.
