Trilby Straw Fedora Panama Hat

The Trilby Fedora is a modern fedora style featuring a center dent crown, a medium brim, a simply bowed hatband, and a comfortable padded sweatband. The brim contains a wire to help it hold its shape. This classic headwear has withstood the test of time and ever-changing fashion trends, making it a timeless choice for both men and women.

Crafted from Toyo straw, the Trilby Fedora boasts a brim width of 2 1/2 inches and a crown height of 4 1/2 inches. The hatband is 5/8 inch grosgrain, providing an elegant touch. These hats are hand-finished in the United States, with measurements that may vary slightly due to the handwoven nature of the product.

Ultrafino, the company behind these hats, was founded on the belief that every hat has a history and a story to tell. The name "Ultrafino" means "ultra-fine" in Spanish, reflecting the company's commitment to providing the highest quality products.

The Panama hat, which forms the basis of Ultrafino's offerings, is a finely woven hat made from toquilla palms on Ecuador's Pacific coast. The finer the weave, the higher the quality, with Ultrafino grade hats containing at least 600 weaves per square inch and taking approximately 6 months to complete.

Ultrafino's mission is to provide not only exceptional headwear but also to support the artisans who create them. The company purchases directly from the weavers, cutting out the middleman and ensuring fair wages and working conditions for these talented individuals. Ultrafino sees the weavers as valuable partners, not just workers, and aims to help preserve the art of hand-weaving, which is unfortunately dying out due to the introduction of automated machines and the push for lower costs.

Beyond the quality and craftsmanship, the Trilby Fedora offers outstanding sun protection, with a UPF 50+ rating. This makes it the perfect accessory for sunny days, whether at the beach or in any outdoor setting. The hat's elegant and stylish design also makes it a fashionable addition to any outfit, garnering compliments and attention from those who witness its timeless appeal.

Ultrafino's core values of trust, integrity, quality, and social responsibility are at the heart of the company's operations. By providing high-quality headwear while improving the lives of the artisans who create them, Ultrafino aims to make a positive impact on the world, one hat at a time. The company's commitment to the conservation of the art of hand-weaving ensures that this tradition will continue to thrive, preserving the rich history and stories behind each and every Ultrafino hat.
