toyo straw material

Toyo straw is a type of shiny smooth straw made chiefly in Japan with shellacked rice paper. This material is commonly used for straw hats and fedoras.[1]

Hats woven from this material are smooth and lightweight, and are often an off-white or golden copper color.[2] The rice paper is coated with shellac, cellophane,[3] or a plastic glaze. Machine-made Toyo straw hats are generally sold in the medium to low price range.[2]
