Trivia

  • Panama hats were brimmed straw hats worn during early 20th century America. Originating from Ecuador, their name comes from being first shipped to the Isthmus of Panama. The hat became vastly popular after being worn by president Theodore Roosevelt who had funded the project for the Panama Canal which opened in 1914.
  • The item's description is a reference to one of the Sniper's last lines in Meet the Sniper where he describes his standards.
