Correct answer: Ecuador

Panama hats are woven from the plaited leaves of the toquilla straw plant, native to the Ecuadorian coast. They earned their misleading name during the 19th century when gold rush travelers and canal workers bought them in Panama, which served as a major shipping hub for South American goods.
