Don’t for one minute think that this is one of those flimsy, papery hats you find on the shelves of big box stores or souvenir shops. Ours is the real deal, crafted of strong, resilient palm straw that’s meticulously braided, then molded into a time-proven silhouette. Lightweight and airy, it features a tall crown for cooling ventilation and a brim plenty wide enough to shade your face and neck. Leather stampede string prevents the wind from whipping your favorite hat off your head.
