Panama with wind lanyard

Bright mornings on the water bring steady gusts and hard glare. We braided this fedora from lightweight paper straw dyed the deep brown of roasted coffee beans. The wide sloping brim drops a cool shadow over your collar, while an adjustable chin cord holds fast when the breeze picks up across the deck.

Braided paper straw

The straw is stitched in a tight braid that breathes easily through warm afternoons. It gives you plenty of shade without trapping heat around your crown, and the deep coffee tone hides everyday dust from the trail.

Wind lanyard and cord

A slender chin cord keeps the brim from flying when you walk along open bluffs or ride the ferry. Slide the toggle snug under your chin, or let the hat rest against your shoulders when you step inside.

Hidden sweatband adjustment

Tucked inside the inner band is a hook and loop strap that lets you dial in the fit. You can snug it down before heading into a stiff breeze so the crown sits steady without pinching.

Rolled for travel

Pack it down into a beach tote or your weekend duffel by gently rolling the crown. It springs back into shape once you reach the coast. Spot clean only, as water weakens the paper braid.
