Our take · Researched, not tested

Raffia teardrop fedora for boardwalks and beach bars.

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

Raffia is softer than most straws and has a relaxed, natural look that belongs near water. The Beach Comber is 100% raffia in natural, shaped into a teardrop fedora with a 4 1/2 in crown and a 2 1/2 in brim. The brim is modest, so it's more about finishing a linen shirt than shading your shoulders. An adjustable velcro sweatband helps it stay put in a sea breeze. Imported.

Margo's tip: Raffia hates being sat on. Give it its own seat or hold it on your lap.

Questions

Is the Beach Comber 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 Beach Comber?

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.

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.
