handwoven palm leaf hat made by the Tula

Hat Company, a fair-trade business based

out of Austin, Texas.

Founded in 1990, the company designs its

headwear in Austin, while the hats themselves

are meticulous!y hand-woven from sustainable,

natural coastal palm fibers by traditional family

artisans in a 400-year- old vilage tradition in

Michoacân, Mexico Tula hats are highly regarded

for gardening, boating, or beach trips--because their dense palm construction blocks 100% of UA and UVB

radiation, earning a UPF 50+ sun protection

rating. Additionally, the palm leaf material

makes them naturally water-resistant,

durable, and capable of floating if diropped in

water.

The porkpie features a classic flat top crown with a circular

indention along the edge of the crown,

a narrow, short slight snap brim similar to a fedora & a wide

grosgrain ribbon around the crown.

The porkpie style became very popular mid 20th century &

is the perfect hat from the 40s & 50s.
