Despite their name, Panama hats are traditionally made in Ecuador, where the weaving technique originated. The misnomer came from hats being exported through Panama during the California Gold Rush. Panama, Venezuela, and Zambia are not known for Panama hat production. The hats are made from the leaves of the toquilla palm plant.
