Paper Straw Hats

We make hats from many varieties of straw and even some with recycled paper content. This material is sometimes called Toyo. The construction of these hats is either completely hand braided or sometimes it is braided into strips and then sewn together to make the hat body, then blocked into shape by steam. Many of these styles are rated UPF 50+ to provide excellent sun protection and they are also quite water resistant.
