Our take · Researched, not tested

Black straw for the summer evening that starts in daylight.

By Margo Lane, straw and sun hats desk Pen name, fact-checked by our team

A black fedora in straw handles the hours when the sun is still up but the plans are getting nicer. The Afternoon pairs soft straw with paper braid in a fedora shape, 4 1/2 in at the crown with a 2 3/4 in brim, and black grosgrain, 2 in wide, finished with a crosspiece. It goes well with a white sundress or wide-leg linen trousers. The sweatband is sewn in, and MD is the size available now.

Margo's tip: A short brim means less shade. Choose a seat under the umbrella and let the hat handle style.

Questions

How should it fit?

Level on your head, about a finger above your eyebrows, clearing the tops of your ears. Sizes in stock run MD to MD. MD fits heads 22 to 22 3/4 in (56 to 57 cm) on American Hat Makers' chart. Between sizes, size up and add an insert.

Is the Afternoon UPF rated?

The listing doesn't state a UPF rating, so don't assume one. Shade depends on the brim and how tight the weave is. Hold it up to a bright light: if light shows through, so does UV.

Does it pack flat?

The store doesn't list it as packable, so don't fold it. Folding straw cracks the weave. Wear it when you travel, or set it crown down in the overhead bin.

How do you clean the Afternoon?

Brush off dust with a soft brush and dab marks with a barely damp cloth. American Hat Makers suggests cornstarch for sweat or grease spots, brushed off after it sits. Never soak straw, and let it dry on its crown.

Can you return it?

Per American Hat Makers, as stated on their site Nov 6, 2026, it offers 90-day easy returns. Policies change, so confirm on the store's page before you order.
