Today, Ultrafino Museum are practically a lost species. That particular Panama represents an example of superior weaving that will most likely never again be duplicated... But there is one thing that remains constant in the world today...that the class of people who are monied always want to buy the absolute best product that they can buy...You drive a fine car, own a quality watch, and wear well-tailored suits. So why wear a $30. hat? I guarantee your hat will give you much joy and will become a treasured companion.

The legendary genuine "Panama" hat is made of Toquilla Palm. The very finest Panama hats have been woven in and around the small town of Montecristi, in Ecuador. Each hat is woven by hand, and virtually all of the work must be done at night, between midnight and six am, in order to protect the straw from damage. The better quality hats (Ultrafino Collectors and extrafinos) require a minimum of 9 weeks to complete. The very finest can take up to six months to weave. These extraordinary hats are called Montecristi Ultrafino Museum. The result is breathtaking: comfortable, stylish, a link with the past, a living demonstration of caring craftsman-ship produced by true master weaver.
