The use of abaca, banana or manila hemp leaves in hammocks, mats, ropes, ropes, twines, rough linen and rugs is secondary. Hat shinamey is woven from the finest quality fibers.
A fabric made from fine threads of abaca, a natural fiber from the leaves of the banana palm, is called synamei. Manufacturing is located in the Philippines and Ecuador. One person can weave about 1 meter per day on a hand loom.
Hat synamey can be of different weaving density 17 * 17 or 25 * 17, 28 * 28, 35 * 40, 40 * 45, which means the number of threads located horizontally and vertically by one inch (2, 54 cm). The denser, the more beautiful and expensive the canvas. The width of the canvas is standard, 90 centimeters. The material has already been treated with a special impregnation at the factory and is tough enough to keep the shape of the cap.
Sinamey is produced in a variety of colors: from ivory to black, with a printed pattern, with embroidery; netting, with knots, with lurex.
And also there is a silk shine, which is used in wedding and evening accessories. Such a canvas has a beautiful shine and even greater hardness.
Why abacus? It is three times stronger than any other fabric, like cotton or silk. 100% abacus fiber will live for at least one century.
Synamey hats have undeniable advantages: eco-style - natural material and excellent protection from the sun's rays.
