[edit] Palm Fedora
Is it fair to characterise the Panama as a Fedora made from a particular type of palm leaf? boffy_b 01:14, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
- The article on fedoras says they're made of felt. Panamas are not. Some panamas are fedora-shaped, but others are not.Craig Butz (talk) 02:01, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fixed error
Another author stated that the term "Panama" is not used in any other country aside from The United States. However, in the classic British music hall song, Fancy Meeting You in the Isle of Man, as performed by Mark Sheridan in October of 1910, Sheridan describes the main character as such:
Dressed in his little flannel suit and panama
He dropped into the Isle of Man
He sauntered like a millionaire
Around the Douglas preomenade
And took it as a compliment when all the ladies said,
"Oh, fancy, fancy meeting you in the Isle of Man."''
It is rather hard to understand because of the quality of the recording, but I'm absolutely certain that the first three lines and last two lines are nigh perfect.
If anyone would like proof, I would have no objection in sending the portion of the song in question to said user.

[edit] Latin orgins
Therefore every Romance/Latin country has its own indigenous version of the "Panama" hat.; could someone cite examples of these different types? --Tonyjeff 04:26, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Storage
It should be added that they can be easily rolled up and stored in a small, narrow box (just saw this on Globe Trekker). Badagnani 01:23, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Blatant advertising
"For information about manufacturers (URL), this is one of the most reliable companies found in Ecuador." is not encyclopedic.Pygmypony 05:49, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Quality
I added citation needed templates in the quality section. I don't know what the source for these numbers is, but a possible source that provides different numbers for a rewrite is brentblack.com Craig Butz (talk) 02:01, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
