oilsand Posted February 8, 2018 #2 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Cost of panama hats depends ***** the quality you want. I would expect panama hats to be available in all the stops in the canal area. If you want a good hat that will last , look at the online options. Cost will be all over the place sorry that dpesnt give much of idea for price $$$$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted February 9, 2018 #3 Share Posted February 9, 2018 It may be called a Panama hat, but it originated in Equador. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panama_hat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCWalton1 Posted February 9, 2018 #4 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I bought one in 2013 for $5 (actually bought it in Colombia) that I I still use on tropical cruises. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northbay Posted February 11, 2018 #5 Share Posted February 11, 2018 The price varies depending on the quality of the hat you purchase. It can range from $5 to a hundred or so, as high as the good Tilley hats. I paid $30 USD in Equador last November for a good quality original Panama hat. A resident told me to test the quality, the best ones are the ones that show no sunlight through when you raise it up to the sun. I followed her advice, and I believe it was a good tip.

leenieweenie Posted February 11, 2018 Author #6 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Thanks to all for the info. Sounds like we will be able to find one reasonably priced in a few of our ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
