Item Description
This hat, made by well known local weaver Ed Kaneko, is made of all locally grown and harvested lauhala. The hatstand is made of Hawaiian curly koa wood and is crafted by master woodworker, Tai Lake.
Lauhala, lau meaning leaf in Hawaiian, refers to the leaves of the Hala Tree (Pandanus tectorius). Many cultures weave the leaves of the P. tectorius to create useful items such as baskets, mats and hats. Though it is a long and arduous process to prepare the leaves for weaving, the final products are beautiful works of art with a pleasing earthy feel.
This hat is about a medium (22-23 inches) but, like most lauhala hats, it can be sized a little to fit the wearer's head. The hatstand measures approximately 15 inches tall.
