WHAT IS HORSEHAIR?

Horsehair (also known as tusa) is the long hair that grows on the mane and neck of some mammals, specifically horses. The hair from their tails is also called horsehair, although it is longer and thicker than the mane's hair.

Horsehair is used to make many things, such as upholstery, bows for musical instruments, fabrics, bracelets, necklaces, hoops, hair brooches, and more.

Undoubtedly, one of the most common uses today is for making thick paint brushes and artistic painting brushes. For this purpose, the horsehairs are processed, cut to the appropriate length for each type of brush, and glued to them. The horsehairs guarantee a smooth stroke and can hold a lot of paint, which means the painter doesn't have to dip the brush too often.

The use of horsehair in fishing is also widespread, for example, for making very long fishing lines. In the past, it was also often used for making fishing gloves, as horsehair is a very good thermal insulator and also allows for very tight weavings that make it difficult for water to get through.

Of course, it can also be used for making hats, as you can see in this section.

The characteristics of horsehair can change a lot depending on the breed and rearing of the horse, its diet, and the climate. The processing of the material also affects the quality and texture of it. You can find thick and stiff horsehairs or thin and flexible ones.

PAMELAS FOR WEDDINGS

Pamelas are a type of women's hat characterized by their very large brim, which can be straight or have some waves. The crown is usually low and round, although there are exceptions. Their characteristics make them ideal for very sunny days, which is why pamelas are also known as beach hats, although wedding pamelas are very much in fashion.

There are many types of pamelas that can be suitable both for a beach day and for a wedding. If you need a morning wedding pamela, take a look at our catalog, including our horsehair pamelas.
