Panama hats have been worn by actors such as Sean Connery, Charlton Heston and Bill Cosby. Men of power, too, wear the panama hat such as Winston Churchill, Teddy Roosevelt, and Napolean Bonaparte. Kings, musicians, actors and nearly anyone who was anyone choose panama hats over any other hat. Teddy Roosevelt, himself, was instrumental in boosting the popularity of the Panama hat. After a picture of Roosevelt wearing a panama hat appeared in the paper, the demand for panama hats went through the roof. The French would not think of wearing anything else but panama hats. Turkey outlawed the fez and had their citizens wear panama hats instead. And of all panama hats, the Montecristi panama hats are regarded as the best.
