If you don't know your head circumference, you can measure it like this: Get a measuring tape or a non-elastic string/strap and wrap it around your head, starting above the eyebrows on the forehead, where the hat would naturally sit. Don’t pull it too tight when measuring, just let it wrap around as much as you want the hat to fit comfortably on your head, because Xiquan’s hats can be tightened by the inner sweatband with Velcro felt, which can be adjusted tighter by about 2-3cm, so when measuring the head circumference, take a comfortable or slightly loose size. During production, molds are needed to help stabilize the size and shape of the product. For this hat model, the head circumference of our molds are 56cm, 58cm, and 60cm. If the head circumference is 57cm, choose 58cm. **pattern** This weaving technique has been used on hats and bags a long time ago. In addition to adding changes, it also represents different meanings. In recent years, weavers have also created patterns that are different from the past. The pattern in the hollow in the photo is "plum blossom". We also provide "diamond" and "water ripple". If there is no specification when placing an order, it will be created by the knitter freely. **decorative belt** In the photo, the blue and mustard yellow decorative belts are made of cotton fabric, and mustard yellow, three matching options (1) Single color, full blue (2) Single color, full mustard yellow (3) Two-color combination, blue+mustard yellow For patterns and decorative belts, please note when placing an order; if not available, we will create them. wwwwwwwww 1.

Palla) ||** | nickname Mat grass, Dajia Lin | Birthplace Central Taiwan - Lower Da'an River | character Ventilation and heat dissipation moisture wicking There is also a unique natural herbal fragrance~ It comes from a unique plant in central Taiwan - Taiwan Rush, which has a charming natural grassy fragrance. In the early days, rush grass was mostly woven straw mats, so it is also called "mat grass". It is very moisture-absorbing and breathable, and it is smooth and skin-friendly. It has a cool feeling to the touch, and it will become more shiny as time goes on. It is a natural fiber with a sense of life. There has been a rush weaving culture in Taiwan for nearly 300 years. Every item is hand-woven by local grandmas and aunts, full of Taiwanese spirit. **|| Weaving process of rush||** Growth | After 3-4 months of growth Exposure | After harvesting, expose to the sun for about 2-3 months, dry the grass until golden yellow, and dry the water completely Grass Sweeping | Classify the grass according to its length and remove some grass tails Grass picking | Grass with average thickness will be selected before weaving Grass pulling pants | pull out the leaves that have not fully grown from the grass head Hammergrass | Destroys the structure of the grass, making it soft and easy to weave If we want to weave more delicate items, there are two more processes - "grass analysis" (subdivide the original triangular rush into two to three equal parts), "grass kneading" (after kneading, the white fibers in the grass are removed) **|| A short story of rush grass in Taiwan||** Rush will become smooth and shiny with time, friction, and oil absorption. Its black-gold luster is what many people pursue. I heard from grandma and mother that in the past, some people would "raise the grass" and wipe it repeatedly with tea water for a long time, so that the rush rush would take on a black-gold and bright color
