Our take · Researched, not tested

Vented Bangora straw with a 4 in brim. Your summer work hat, sorted.

By Cody Hale, cowboy hats desk Pen name, fact-checked by our team

When the sun is out and the work isn't done, you want air and shade. The Cal is natural Bangora straw with a vented crown, standing 4 1/2 in in a western shape, and a 4 in brim that covers the face and the back of the neck. The band is a plain 2-ply cord. Elastic sweatband, sizes SM to XX. Imported. It's the kind of straw you wear until the color fades and then a little longer.

Cody's tip: Vented crowns let in air and also dust. Give it a quick tap and a dry brush after a dirty day.

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 SM to XX. SM fits heads 21 to 21 7/8 in (54 to 55 cm) on American Hat Makers' chart. Between sizes, size up and add an insert.

Is the Cal UPF rated?

The listing doesn't state a UPF rating, so don't assume one. The 4 inch brim still gives real shade. 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 Cal?

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.
