Our take · Researched, not tested

Vented natural straw cowgirl hat that's actually built for heat.

By Jessica Reyes, women's hats desk Pen name, fact-checked by our team

Summer concerts are hot. Like, hot hot. The Cal is natural Bangora straw with a vented crown at 4 1/2 in and a 4 in brim, so you get airflow up top and real shade on your face. The trim is a simple 2-ply band, which means you can swap in a beaded or scarf band if you want more color. Formula: this hat, a crop top, a denim skirt and cowgirl boots. MD, LG and XL with an elastic sweatband.

Jessica's tip: Tie a silk bandana around the crown over the plain band for an instant custom look.

Questions

Which size of the Cal should I get?

Measure your head where the hat sits and match it to the chart. MD fits heads 22 to 22 3/4 in (56 to 57 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 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.

Can you travel with the Cal?

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.
