Navy Barnes Panama Hat

The Barnes Panama Hat is a true expression of time-honoured craftsmanship, made in England using 100% genuine Panama straw, each piece handwoven in Ecuador where the tradition began. Despite the name, a true Panama hat must be crafted from the fibres of the toquilla palm, grown and woven by skilled artisans whose techniques have been passed down for generations. Its origins trace back centuries, later gaining international fame during the construction of the Panama Canal, where it became an essential for those seeking both shade and elegance in the heat. Lightweight, breathable, and beautifully finished, the Barnes Panama embodies a heritage of meticulous handwork and enduring summer style.
