Here is where I purchased my Panama. http://store.panamas.biz/
A Panama can be made in various styles, but it is a woven hat. My Panama happens to be a fedora style instead of one of the other styles. I do wear a felt fedora when the Panama is a bit too casual, like evening wear. I showed my casual summer hat in a previous post.
I just happen to love wearing hats. I also wear a beret when the occasion allows, a very casual bucket hat for yard work, and a very loosely woven very wide brimmed fedora style when mowing the yard and I need to have protection from the sun. People sometimes give me baseball caps, but I rarely wear them. I live in an area of the country where a baseball cap could almost be considered a "formal" hat. I have seen men dressed as well as they normally dress wearing a ball cap.
