<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lulululu, post: 42148, member: 431&quot;]The ebay auction hat is woven from bamboo or palm leaves or something similar, while the hat with the hole was woven from something similar to ( but not) sweetgrass (it grows in Europe and North America, and this hat is not from there/here). Each culture has it&#039;s chosen materials to work with and would not weave in a variety of plants, so these two hats are from different cultures. </p><p><br /></p><p>Somewhere deep in my stored books (we&#039;re preparing for a move, but have a lot of renovation to do first) I have a book on hat styles by culture and ethnicity. Doubt I&#039;ll see it any tie soon but someone might be able to find it or similar in a library or amazon. Or google ethnic straw or grass hats. Maybe add &#039;hole in crown&#039;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
