Short brim straw trilby

Summer glare calls for a brim that cuts down the brightness without getting in the way. We weave this fedora from flexible paper braid with a ribbon band and an upturned back. It sits loose and light, letting the afternoon breeze through while you walk the boardwalk or garden.

Packable paper braid

Roll the straw down into your day bag or weekender. When you pull it back out, the braid springs into shape so you can pop it on and head straight outside.

Breeze on the pier

A detachable chin cord keeps the crown on your head when gusts pick up along the water. Fasten the hook and loop tape inside for a closer fit when you want it.

Shade in dusty khaki

The khaki braid carries the look of dried summer grass. The short brim casts steady shade over your eyes without blocking your view when you look up at the street signs.

Caring for the straw

Wash this piece by hand to keep the paper braid firm and smooth. Set it out to dry flat and it will be ready for the next sunny afternoon.
