Panama Hats From Ecuadorized Palm Straw Craft
Most Panama hats are produced in Ecuador from paja tequilin. Leaves are cut before unfolding, fibers bleached with nettle lemon juice, and each leaf yields about 30 strands of 55 centimetres. Hats require humidity to weave, with six hours daily yielding six to seven days for an ordinary hat and up to a month and a half for a fine one. Labor drives cost, with Monte Cristi examples famed for their fineness.
