“A great summer hat”

“Well constructed, and attractive. I use it for shade on strolls around my Colorado neighborhood. The raffia crown lets breezes through, making it a nice summer hat. This crown also makes it less likely to blow off. Discrete raffia string around base of crown can be tightened, if desired, for wind, or if one needs a smaller size. My hat size is large, and this one fits comfortably, with a little ease for summer. Would work as well for a walk along Kailua Beach, at a garden party, or in dense urban areas, even NYC, with it's dark brim and understated style. The neutral colors mean it can be worn with many clothes. Looks fine with shorts and with dresses Having bought the hat at the end of summer, I cannot comment yet on durability. Wonder whether tossing it in a pack, or packing it, may cause it to lose some shaping. Arrives in a nice hat box for storage. I like to keep wardrobe and packing simple, with clothes that work in many settings. This hat fits fits that model perfectly.”
