Why Hats Are Made out of Straw

Straw is arguably the best material for making mens hats. It has a range of advantages over other materials. Not only is it plentiful and easily farmed, it's also fairly simple to weave. Not only is it durable but it is also malleable and can be pressed into shape by steam or water like other hat making materials. As a plant fiber it can be split into very fine threads that are highly shapeable when woven, yet extremely durable. Straw weaves also hold their shape much like felt.

Since straw is lightweight and breathable it is more comfortable to wear. So, it will keep you cooler in the summer while providing protection from the wind and rain in cooler months.

With all of these advantages to straw hats it is easy to see why they have been relied on for shade and protection for thousands of years. Today, people still rely on us to deliver the straw hat that will keep them cool, comfortable and stylish while enjoying their favorite activities.
