Our take · Researched, not tested

Soft gray straw for anyone who finds cream a bit too sunny.

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

Not every summer outfit wants a bright hat. This gray teardrop fedora sits nicely with black linen, white denim and striped tops. The weave is mostly paper (75%) with polyester (25%), with a 4 1/4 in crown and a 2 1/4 in brim that stays out of your sunglasses. A drawstring ribbon sweatband lets you adjust the fit around a ponytail or loose hair. Imported.

Margo's tip: For a low ponytail, loosen the drawstring a little and seat the hat slightly forward.

Questions

Is the Alex 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.

Can you travel with the Alex?

Wear it on travel days. It isn't listed as packable, so it shouldn't go folded in a suitcase. On a plane, set it crown down in the overhead bin with nothing on top.

Can this straw hat get wet?

A light shower is fine; a soaking can loosen the weave and the shape. If it gets wet, reshape it with your hands and let it dry at room temperature, crown down, away from heat.

What if it doesn't fit?

American Hat Makers states 90-day easy returns (per American Hat Makers, as stated on their site Nov 6, 2026). Check the store's current policy before you buy; its page is the final word.
