Floppy summer straw hat

Summer glare off the water calls for serious shade. We stitch this hat from lightweight paper braid, pairing a pale oat crown with a deep black brim that throws cool shadows across your face and shoulders. A hidden hook and loop tab lets you set the fit before you head outside.

Wide floppy brim

The broad brim slopes out far enough to shade your neck and collarbones through long afternoons. The dark black edge cuts down bright light across your vision while you read or garden.

Packable paper braid

Roll the straw gently to fit into a beach tote or tuck flat between folded linens in a suitcase. It opens back out without deep creases when you reach your stop.

Wind chin cord

A slim chin strap holds the hat secure when breezes pick up along the shoreline or out on a boat deck. Slide the toggle snug so sudden gusts cannot carry it off.

Spot clean care

Paper braid stays smooth when kept dry. Brush off dry sand or dab soiled spots with a slightly damp cloth, then let it dry flat in the shade without full washing.
