Forty-Eight Straw Hat STETSON

Product details

A Genuine Panama Hat

The Forty-Eight hat is a fedora hat made of grade 8 genuine Panama straw. This exquisite straw has been handwoven in the mountains of Ecuador for centuries. Panama hats take their name from the construction of the Panama canal. Many Ecuadorian workers sought their fortunes in the colossal groundworks, and brought their straw hats with them. Their lightweight, vented hats were so popular that they spread like wildfire among the workers, the formen, and then the world. 

The Forty-Eight is of a simple, elegant construction. The unbleached body showcases the beautiful natural tones of Panama straw, and the classic teardrop crown is decorated with a slim grosgrain band for added discreet elegance.

Turn it upside down and you will find a genuine sheepskin sweatband. In addition to providing a snug fit and unparalleled comfort, it helps prevent the apparition of sweat stains in the straw.

This summer, choose a unisex and elegant Panama straw summer hat that will easily blend in your formal and casual summer wardrobes. Find the Forty-Eight hat by Stetson at the Henri Henri hat store or on our online store with fast shipping!
