Wide brim straw panama

Bright water throws glare upward, and noon along the shore asks for real cover. We braided this fedora from paper straw, giving it a broad brim that casts deep shade over your collar and cheeks. The quiet sand-beige tone stays cool under high summer light without showing dust from the trail.

Wide braided brim

The generous edge holds steady over your brow, keeping harsh afternoon glare off your eyes while you tend the garden or sit out by the water. It drops a long circle of shade across your neck.

Cord for the coast

A chin strap keeps the crown settled when gusts come off the harbor or across the deck. You can drop the hat to your back when stepping indoors without hunting for a hook.

Tucked inner band

A hidden hook and loop tape sits inside the sweatband so you can snug the crown to your liking. The soft band catches moisture before it reaches your brow on sticky afternoons.

Care and packing

The paper braid flexes into a beach tote and shakes back into shape for the walk home. Keep it out of the wash basin, as a quick brush with a dry cloth cleans the straw.
