Our take · Researched, not tested

A sand straw safari hat for patio lunches and garden walks.

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

Sand is a pale, warm neutral that disappears nicely into a summer wardrobe. This Boxcar is lightweight toyo straw in a safari shape, 4 in at the crown, with a 2 3/8 in brim that stays out of your sunglasses. The band is debossed faux leather with a concho. The velcro sweatband is adjustable, which helps with a low bun or loose hair. SM, MD, LG and XL. Imported.

Margo's tip: Keep it in its own spot in the car, away from the back window. Straw doesn't like a hot cab.

Questions

Which size of the Boxcar should I get?

Measure your head where the hat sits and match it to the chart. SM fits heads 21 to 21 7/8 in (54 to 55 cm) on American Hat Makers' chart. XL fits heads 23 5/8 to 24 1/4 in (60 to 61 cm) on American Hat Makers' chart. Between sizes, American Hat Makers says to size up and use the foam insert it includes.

Is the Boxcar 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 Boxcar?

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.
