Wide brim sun hat

Afternoons on the dock or in the garden call for real shade. We braid this hat from fine paper straw, blending soft sandy beige tones that match dry summer grass. The wide brim reaches far out over your shoulders while the crown stays light on your head.

Wide braided brim

The broad edge curves gently around you to throw deep shadow across your eyes and collarbone. It cuts the bright glare off flat water without sagging into your view as you walk.

Wind cord and band

A soft chin cord keeps the crown anchored when sea breezes pick up across the ferry deck. Tucked beneath the inner sweatband, a hidden drawstring lets you snug the fit so it sits right.

Packing and folding

Roll it up and slide it into your tote bag beside the beach towel. The paper braid gives under pressure and springs back into its rounded shape once you shake it out at your stop.

Care and washing

Rinse summer dust or salt spray away with a damp cloth and mild soap by hand. Let the crown dry flat in an airy room out of direct heat so the weave keeps its crisp form.
