All of Borsalino Straw hats are made of fine straw hand-woven in Ecuador and blocked and trimmed in Italy by second and third generation hat makers. Many of these hats take from 4-6 weeks to weave and the finest Montecristi straw hats by Borsalino can take up to EIGHT MONTHS to hand weave before taking a boat ride to Italy where they touch dozens of hands before the final product is packed and shipped to us.
Heads come in all shapes and sizes. If you can come into the shop to try them on instead of shipping, we highly recommend taking time to do so.
