Our take · Researched, not tested

Black weathered cotton, a camo band and a chin cord for gusty days.

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

Cotton outback hats are the low-fuss kind. You don't baby them. The Arden is 100% cotton with a weathered black finish, an outback crown at 4 in, and a short brim that stays out of your way under a truck roof or a low branch. A weathered cotton camo band goes around the crown and a matching chin cord keeps it on when the wind picks up. The sweatband is sewn in, and it comes in MD, LG and XL. Imported.

Margo's tip: If it gets soaked, reshape it by hand and let it air dry. Keep it off the radiator.

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 XL. 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 Arden 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 can leave a permanent crease. Wear it when you travel, or set it crown down in the overhead bin.

Can you wash the Arden?

Check the care label on the store page first. Most fabric hats take a gentle hand wash in cool water and air drying on a bowl or balled towel so the crown keeps its shape. Skip the dryer.

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.

Do you sell this hat?

No. American Hat Makers sells it. The store button opens their product page, and we earn a commission if you buy, at no cost to you.
