In my research on women's clothing from this period, which I am undertaking at the moment, I keep coming across the word "chip" used as a material for bonnets. The drawings of such bonnets look like they are made of straw to me, but they seem to be distinguished from straw hats, which are described as such, in some fashion. Does anyone know what kind of material chip was?
