Vietcong straw hat yellow

The yellow Vietkong straw hat is a cone-shaped hat made of woven palm leaves, with a wide brim that rises diagonally to a pointed top. It is intended for women and men who want to complete an Asian costume, during carnival or at a theme party. With its bright yellow color, it is a headpiece that you can recognize from afar in a crowded hall or parade.

Weave and shape of the yellow straw hat

• The hat is made of 100% palm leaves.
• The weave is in a herringbone pattern, in circular bands that are sewn together with visible stitches.
• The color is a solid bright yellow, both on the outside and on the inside of the brim.
• The shape is a low, wide cone with a pointed top, so that the hat sits like a roof over your head.
• You only receive the hat; the wig and clothing are not included.

Where does the pointed straw hat come from?

The pointed straw hat is a traditional hat from East and Southeast Asia, where farmers have traditionally worn it in the fields to protect against the bright sun and rain. The wide cone shape lets water run off to the brim and keeps the face in the shade. In the world of costumes, it is therefore the most recognizable feature of an Asian look. If you want your costume to stand out from a distance as well, then this bright yellow version is a clearer choice than a hat in the natural color of straw.

Wearing the yellow straw hat during carnival

During a carnival parade, the hat works best with a simple garment in a dark color, so that the yellow stands out above the crowd. For a warrior look, combine it with a black wig with a long braid and a thinly painted-on mustache. If you are going to a theme party, a red garment with a stand-up collar and long black hair underneath will match.
