Yes that combines practicality and style quite nicely!
As it happens I do own a Panama hat, actually made in Panama, but I've only worn it with a shirt likewise made in Panama.

Unusual. Strange as it may seem, most Panama hats are actually made in Ecuador. https://ultrafino.com/blogs/articles...ma-hat-history

I thought Panama hats were traditionally made in Ecuador?

There are many styles of panama to choose from and OCR's super picture is of a style that I would describe, rightly or wrongly, as a "planter" and very nice it is. For me I choose a panama of a lighter(in weight) build and style.
In case anyone is interested I use these days "The Panama Hat Company" of London and they can be found on the internet. A very efficient and pleasant company to deal with. I choose the "folder" style as they are Lighter in weight and as they are designed to be bent(modestly), I find that they absorb the rough and tumble of my life style rather better than some styles.
Caution: Panamas in my experience do last well if a modicum of care is taken. They are not as forgiving though, as say, wool.
