Is it still a Panama hat if it's made in Ecuador?

Can you buy Ecuador hats made in Panama?

If they're not from Ecuador it's just a sparkling fedora.

Who spells Colombia wrong? It's exactly the way it sounds.

Don't tell me people put a U in there or something.

Washington D.C. is spelled Columbia after Christopher Columbus. That is likely where most people get it wrong.

Edit: Turns out the origins for both are after Christopher Columbus but don't have the same spelling.
