A hat made from Bonia and tobacco leaves, recognizable for its lower crown and lengthy brim. The leaves are arranged by colors to create patterns around the top and sides, leaving a gradient of brown and softer earthen colors.

The brim is tied together with brown fibbers and while the hat structure is done by sewing the leaves together with thread.
