Our Love Affair With The Versatility Of Straw Hats

Men and women love to wear straw hats for almost any occasion. Although they were originally worn for practical reasons - to keep the sun off the face or protect the wearer from bad weather, they evolved into many different styles that became fashion statements. These days you can find handmade, expensive boutique, and even wholesale hats made of straw.

The Practical Side of Woven Hats

Summer hats combine great protection from the sun with a lightweight, cooling weave that lets breezes through to cool you in hot weather. If you take a look at wholesale hat sales, you'll see that there is a spike in the sales of straw hats during hotter weather. You'll also find wholesale hats being sold in expensive shops, souvenir shops and even on street corners in popular vacation locations around the world.

Straw cowboy hats are sometimes made with a very tight weave that won't let water through. This is so the front of the hat shields you from the sun while the back portion funnels rain water away from your neck. More than one cowboy has stocked up on wholesale hats to protect his face and neck all year round.

Wholesale Caps Made Of Straw Are Best Sellers

There are many places you can order wholesale caps or hats, but not all distributors carry a good selection of straw hats. That's a shame, because they are extremely versatile and comfortable. Women in particular love straw wholesale hats because they can order a favorite style in more than one color to coordinate with their wardrobes. A wide brimmed straw hat with a matching ribbon around the crown looks lovely with a sun dress.

Manufacturers make wholesale hats from a variety of straw materials, including raffia, palm leaves, toquilla fiber, hemp, baku, and of course straw. These are available in several natural shades from a bright, clear yellow to a burnished gold. Some straw hats, like many other wholesale caps, are dyed in a variety of colors to coordinate with anything in your wardrobe.

Women aren't the only ones who appreciate straw hats. Men can find handsome Panama hats, safari hats and fedoras that will protect them in style. Panama hats originally became popular with plantation owners and rich farmers in Panama, where hat designers created the broad brimmed, somewhat formal hat as a more stylish version of the floppy hats worn by Panamanian workers.

Today, young men are again discovering how versatile straw fedoras and safari hats are. They shield the wearer from the sun like a baseball cap does, but they have a bit more style and are a sophisticated choice when you're wearing anything from slacks and a polo shirt to shorts and a tropical shirt.

Selling Straw Wholesale Caps Is Easy

The availability of various styles, colors and materials for straw hats is apparent when you look for wholesale caps or hats online. Since the materials used for these hats are inexpensive to begin with, retailers can order large quantities at a low price. Customers will quickly stack up on straw caps and hats, particularly if you offer several different styles for men, women and children.
