Reply To: Do any charedim wear straw fedoras?

@syag lchochma – i’ll just go along with this for a bit. The straw used for panamas aren’t inexpensive. I intentionally used linen as the example because linen is closer than cheesecloth. in addition I think cheesecloth is translucent which kind of negates the point of a burka. On the other hand, (properly woven) straw is no more translucent than felt.
