Handwoven in Ecuador; Finished in the USA

 

UPF 50+ Sun Protection

 

Exclusive to Jaxon Hats, the Jaxon Panama Working Hat is designed in California, the hat bodies are handwoven in Ecuador and the hats are blocked and finished in Massachusetts.

 

Panama hats are usually a combination of the world reknown material, Panama straw, and high-class traditional styling. We thought, "Why not make a Panama hat that is also functional?"

This is the result:

  1. A wide brim for better sun protection. (The weavers in Ecuador had to make the hat body with a 6-inch brim so that the finishing in the USA could be done to the correct brim width. This allowed for the underwelt at the brim's edge, cutting of excess material, etc.)
  2. The "Uncrushable Insert" in the crown. We still suggest handling this hat by the brim and not the crown, but the insert protects against cracking by normal wear.
  3. The hat is sprayed with a water & stain repellent which gives extra protection to the straw.
  4. Our USA manufacturer helped us develop the detachable chincord. On calm days, remove it. On slightly windy days, put the chincord behind your head catching under your hairline. On very windy days, fit under you chin. 

"This is the hat I wear daily. It serves me exceptionally well." -Fred Belinsky, VHS Founder [1948-2014]

 

Please Note: Hats, particularly straw hats, should never be handled by the crown. Hats should always be handled only by the brim. Constant pinching or handling of its crown creates stains and, in the case of straw hats, will result in cracking after some time. See our HAT CARE blog for more information and other care tips.

excellent hat

I've worn this hat for years now - I ride horses and wear it to keep the sun off my face while doing horse care after riding. It's an excellent hat and I get tons of compliments. It's held up great. I got it snug so it can fit perfectly without ever falling off.

Better than I expected

This hat is close to one that I had made for me in Santa Fe. The weave is not as fine and tight, however the shape and style are just as good. It gets a lot of compliments.
