It is characterized by the texture and lightness that can only be achieved using natural materials. Another feature is that it is foldable and easy to carry. This model has a short brim and comes in two sizes: 56.5cm and 57.5cm. There were many requests from petite women, so we commercialized it. Not only does it protect you from the sun, but it also has excellent breathability! Even if the brim is short, it provides good sun protection. In addition, the breathability of natural materials keeps you cool without getting stuffy. ◆Made of lightweight, foldable fine-woven raffia Raffia is a natural material that is lightweight and soft. Unlike wheat straw, it uses soft leaves, so it is easy to process and can be woven. The knitted hat body can be folded and carried, making it perfect for traveling or short outings. It is popular among many women because of its lightness and foldability. This time, we are using a very finely knitted hat body. It is a rare material that can only be knitted a few pieces a day, and when it is molded, it becomes even more beautiful. It looks gorgeous and is a material that will add to the summer wardrobe not only for women but also for adults. ◆It's foldable, so it's perfect for going out! There is a wire in the brim, so you can freely arrange the angle and the way it is worn. Unlike overseas products, it is manufactured using a Japanese wooden mold, so it fits perfectly. The inside of the sweatband has hook-and-loop tape that allows you to fine-tune the size. The material is soft and foldable. When not in use indoors or in the shade, you can easily carry it by rolling it up and putting it in a bag. ◆Raffia? Raffia is a natural material made from the leaves of the raffia palm tree, which is native to Madagascar. Hats are made from a material made by knitting strings made from these fibers. The more you use it, the more it will fit in your hands and become softer to the touch. ◆Traditional gem Tanaka hat store Kasukabe City in Saitama Prefecture has long been known as a wheat distribution center. At the time, the production of ``Straw Sanada,'' made by bleaching and flattening wheat straw and knitting it together, was a side job for farmers at the time. This is also the origin of Tanaka Hat Shop. While working as a farmer around 1898, he began making ``Sanada'', which is a braided cord made from wheat, as a side job. Hat making began in earnest about 20 years later, around the 30th year of the Meiji era. More than a century later, Tanaka Hatten still maintains good old traditional techniques while still producing products that meet modern needs.It is now one of Japan's most established hat manufacturers, and is now synonymous with ``Tanaka Hats'' when it comes to Japanese straw hats.
