it is the panama hat i just stole it from some one else
What we call the Panama Hat originated in Ecuador. It is woven from a very soft fiber that grows only there. It is called a Panama Hat because when they were building the Panama Canal, President Theodore Roosevelt was given a hat by a Panamanian business man. It fit him. He looked good wearing it, so he wore it the whole time he was down there. Well, if the president wears that, so too must his staff, and they all bought and wore the same kind of hat. When they got back to Washington, they were asked about the hat. They said this is the Panama Hat, we got them in Panama. There is a real Panama Hat that is made in Panama by Panamanians and worn by them but looks nothing like the one we call the Panama Hat.
Actually they're made in Ecuador, but exported to Panama.SId Fleischman author of the Great Horn Spoon In his autobiography said the hats were from Jipijapa so he called it a jipijapa hat because he thought kids those days wouldn't know what a panama hat was like. The Panama hat is made from jipija plant fibre.
