Amedeo Panama Quito Wide Brim

The legendary Panama hat was created in 1835. The Amedeo Panama Quito has a 7.5cm wide brim and 4cm grosgrain tonal hatband. The production of Borsalino straw hats begins in Ecuador, where the local straw is harvested from the stalks of the toquilla palm tree, boiled and dried under the sun. A process that can take up to six months. The skilled Ecuadorian artisans weave it by hand, making extremely fine semi-finished cloches. After careful quality control, the cloches are sent to the Alessandria maison for the continuous rigorous and intricate manufacture processes. Once the ribbon is added, the brim is stiffened before the hat is ready for the final steps: embellishments, stitching, inspection and packaging - all by hand. The history of the Panama is phenomenal and timeless. Style your Amedeo Panama Quito with relaxed fit suit.
