Wide Brim Sinamay Hat - Navy Blue
Sinamay is one of the most popular hat-making foundations in the world. It is woven from the processed stalks of the abaca tree, a banana palm native to the Philippines. Abaca fiber is three times stronger than cotton or silk, and a fabric made from 100% abaca can last for over 100 years. As a result, sinamay holds a very firm shape. Because it is a natural fiber, it holds color beautifully. The "blanks" are made in China and then imported to the USA and fully trimmed at the Toucan Hats factory in Kingston, NY. Trim is handmade created from sinamay, silk flowers, ribbons, silk shantung, tulle and feathers. Hats have an adjustable feature, either a drawstring or a Velcro and elastic tab.
