3. Grade
Panama hats are made of fine straw fibers woven into a tight mesh. The amount of straw fibers woven in one square inch is called grade and it identifies the quality of the hat, the higher the grade the higher the quality of the hat.
EcuadorMall offers you a wide variety of grades for each style of panama hat:
- Cuenca hats come in the following grades:Subfine, Fine and Extrafine (the subfine being the one with fewer fibers per square inch, and extrafine having the most fibers)
- Montecristi hats come in the following grades: 7-8, 11-12, 13-14, 15-16, and 19-20.
