Our take · Researched, not tested

Pale straw, a black ribbon, and somewhere warm to be.

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

Cream straw keeps a summer outfit light, and the black grosgrain ribbon gives it a clean outline. The 2 in band carries a crosspiece, the crown rises 4 1/2 in, and the brim measures 2 3/4 in, which is small enough to sit in a car or on a train without bumping anything. It's soft straw blended with paper braid, with a sewn in sweatband. XL is the size in stock right now.

Margo's tip: Set it upside down on its crown in a hotel room, never brim-down on the bed.

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 XL to XL. XL fits heads 23 5/8 to 24 1/4 in (60 to 61 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.
