Our take · Researched, not tested

Crocheted terracotta raffia on top, a flat toyo brim below.

Two straws, one hat. The Bristol's crown is crocheted raffia in terracotta, and the flat brim is toyo straw, which gives it a crisp edge under a soft top. The crown stands 4 1/2 in in an outback shape and the brim reaches 3 3/4 in, enough to shade the face and the tops of the shoulders on a beach chair. An adjustable velcro sweatband handles fit, in S/M or L/XL. Imported.

Margo's tip: Terracotta loves white linen and denim. Skip orange near it unless it's the exact same shade.

Great for

  • Beach days and poolside reading
  • Shade from a flat 3 3/4 in brim
  • S/M or L/XL heads

Skip it if

  • You need a hat that packs flat: the store doesn't list it as packable
  • You want a stated UPF rating: this listing doesn't give one
  • You want a cold-weather hat: look at felt

Questions

Which size of the Bristol should I get?
It comes in S/M and L/XL. S/M fits heads 22 1/8 to 22 3/4 in on American Hat Makers' chart. L/XL fits heads 22 7/8 to 23 5/8 in on American Hat Makers' chart. Between sizes, size up and use an insert.
Is the Bristol UPF rated?
The listing doesn't state a UPF rating, so don't assume one. The 3 3/4 inch brim still gives real shade. Hold it up to a bright light: if light shows through, so does UV.
Can you travel with the Bristol?
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.
