Our take · Researched, not tested

Natural toyo straw, a leather band and a chin cord that holds on.

There is a certain calm that comes with a hat that won't blow away. The women's Ezra is 100% toyo straw in natural, shaped as a rancher with a 4 in crown and a 3 1/2 in brim. A double fine leather band wraps the crown, and an adjustable chin cord closes with a metal toggle. The drawstring sweatband handles fit. It is imported. Wear it on a ferry ride, at a polo match or during a windy beach walk.

Margo's tip: Snug the drawstring first, then use the chin cord only as backup. A hat that fits well needs less holding.

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 MD to XL. MD fits heads 22 to 22 3/4 in (56 to 57 cm) on American Hat Makers' chart. Between sizes, size up and add an insert.
Is the Ezra UPF rated?
The listing doesn't state a UPF rating, so don't assume one. The 3 1/2 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 Ezra?
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.
Do you sell this hat?
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.
