This German palm leaf hat was bought by German from China to use every day, usually for men. Wearing the hats was also a habit for outdoor workers because without hats, they couldn't stand the hot sun. Therefore, the palm leaf hats are the first choice for farmers because the leaf is so cool itself and dries quickly when they sweat. However, making the palm leaf hats must be more elaborate, the leaves must be young enough, the veins must be green, the color of the leaves must be greenish white. If the leaves are white and the veins are also white, the leaves are old, which make the hats not beautiful. A standard hat must be greenish white with the veins are still light green, the leaf surface must be glossy, and the knitted hat must have beautiful green veins. In order to achieve that standard, it must be followed the correct process. Drying the leaves must be done rightly as technique, drying on a charcoal stove (not in the sun). Then dry them in the dew to be soft for two to four hours. Then use a cloth and a piece of cast iron placed on a charcoal stove with moderate heat to iron each leaf flat. Each leaf is carefully selected and cut to the same length of 50cm (palm leaf). Sharpen the brim, arrange the leaf frames, folding the hats. With an iron scimitar, the hat makers (usually men do this stage) sharpen each bamboo spoke so that it is round and very small in diameter, usually just a little bit larger than the diameter of a toothpick. Then bend these bamboo slats into very round and smooth circles from small to large. Each hat needs 16 bamboo spokes bent into this circle, placed from small to large in a wooden frame with a pointed or round shape depending on the design. Then the hat maker arranges the leaves on the frame must, which must be clever and skillful in order not to let the leaves overlapped or askew so that the hats become delicate. The process of making hats seems to be easy, but thanks to the skillful hands of professional makers to produce beautiful and durable products like this hat.
