The Jo Short Brim and Marcos straw hats are designed with Palmilla straw, frequently utilized as a staple in Northwestern Mexico, where it is native to Durango, Sinaloa, and Sonora states. The leaves are harvested, sorted, dried, and stripped into increasingly fine widths and then woven in a basketweave pattern. The straw is softer and much lighter weight than most palms and makes a beautiful weave, giving our straw headwear a balance between heritage styles and modern classics.
