Pencer LiteStraw® Fedora

A Shantung 'straw' hat is made from high performance paper rolled into a fine yarn and then woven, a process perfected by the Japanese in 610 A.D. This lighter yet very strong " offered a perfect panama alternative and was dubbed the "Shantung Panama."Bailey's finely woven Shantungs are glazed with Bailey's proprietary LiteStraw® finish to provide a supple feel, water repellency and enhanced shape retention. This hand pinched crown fedora is unglazed and comes with a Japanese grosgrain band. Made in the U.S.A. with globally sourced components.

Note: This hat has been treated to look aged and unique. Frays, holes and color may change over time, giving both you and your hat added charm and character.
