  • Buckram vs Straw

    Has anyone done any research into the comparitive costs of fashion bonnets with bonnets made of buckram vs straw? I am curious to see if there was a significant price difference that could effect who may be purchasing either or a minimal difference. I have an understanding that the making of straw bonnet bases/frames was a cottage industry in the New England States during the 1830s through mid century. To me this suggests some geographic influence. If I am incorrect or missing a piece, could you let me know.

    Thank you
