Straw hats are a common cultural invention. They can be made from any kind of grass or straw. The most popular are wheat straw hats. They can be found most often in the Italian Peninsula.

Although it may seem too early to wear a straw cap, considering that most people associate them only with summer wear, they can actually be worn throughout the year, particularly in milder climates.

Straw hats are a versatile piece of clothing that can be worn in any weather. Are you feeling hot or sunny? The woven straw hat lets heat escape and protects your head from the mid-day sun’s pounding rays. It is raining? Properly woven straw hats will allow the rain to roll off your head, away from your clothes and face, and help you stay dry. While they may not be ideal for dealing with snow and other cold weather, a straw hat can trap heat and keep the cold out.
