Resort wear looks for the sharp-dressed man
Take the carefree spirit of the beach and tropics with you wherever you go this summer, in cool lightweight cottons and linens.
No matter how casual, you’ll still look stylish when you top off your look with a Panama hat, putting you in league with such famous Panama hat wearers as Napoleon, Clark Gable and Truman Capote, and more recently, Johnny Depp and Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler.
Made from toquilla straw, the finely woven hats can last generations with proper care and handling. Hats by the most skilled weavers can command up to $50,000. Brent Black, of the Panama Hat Company of the Pacific, one of the world’s authorities on Panama hats, lives here in the Islands. His hats are among those carried at Newt at the Royal.
