Authentic Panama hats are actually from Ecuador! They just became popular when they sold them to people crossing the Canal, so when anybody asked the buyers said they got the hat in Panama.
This guy has a really outdated website with more information than anybody could possibly need about Panama hats lol
Swede here, I have decided to get a hat like this during this summer:

Combine it with a loose white linnen shirt and loose white linnen trousers and you can sort of claim to cosplay John Hammond from Jurassic Park.
What I have found is that you can’t just get a hat and use it with any outfit, you need to have an outfit that works with the hat.
I like that one, but I won’t buy american products. Also a reason for not getting a stetson.
Fair point, I have yet to decide on the final model of hat I will actually get
there are many swedish hatmakers! cth ericson has something similar to that one.
Ah, perfekt! Jag kikar på hattmakare istället för hattbutiker!
Tak skal du have!
Get a Panama hat. They are similar in style and often made in Panama.

Smithbilt hats are made in Canada, better quality than Stetson IMO
