STRAWS

Straws come in so many different types, shapes, and styles. The most flexible, long-lived fiber is the toquilla fiber, which is generally made into hats in Ecuador. Hats made from the toquilla straw are more popularly known as the Panama hats. The tightness, the finesse of the weave, and the time spent in weaving a complete hat out of the toquilla straw characterize its quality. Milan straw is another type of straw hat. Present day Milan straw actually refers to the weaving/braiding technique, not the material. Milan straw hats can be woven from multiple materials such as hemp and synthetic plastics. However, few manufacturers still produce the traditional finely-braided golden-hued hats from wheat straws, as opposed to the man-made synthetic fibers. These woven hats can withstand significant wear and tear and still glisten in their golden hues. Despite its thick braids, the Milan Straw hats are durable and light in weight. Hats made of palm is another popular material. By braiding the palm straw it becomes a robust and durable band that can withstand extreme weather and daily abuse. It was popular among those riding trails because they last. We even carry straws that serve as protection from the sun. They make some that have UV panels built in to the underside of the brim and also in the top of the crown. There are many more types as you will see as you shop the different collections.
