Our take · Researched, not tested

Cream vented canvas outback, with a side concho and a cord for wind.

The Florence looks like straw from a distance, but it is actually a vented canvas and cotton material, shaped into an outback. This cream version has a 4 1/4 in crown and a 3 1/4 in brim, with an embossed faux leather band and a concho on the side. An adjustable chin cord helps when the wind kicks up, and an elastic sweatband handles fit. AHM adds a protective sealant meant to help it hold its shape, and they note it adds some weight. It is imported.

Margo's tip: Cream shows dust, so brush it off once it's dry rather than scrubbing it.

Great for

  • Hot days, with vented fabric
  • Windy outings, with a chin cord
  • Light colors for summer

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 Florence 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. 3X fits heads 25 to 25 5/8 in (64 to 65 cm) on American Hat Makers' chart. Between sizes, American Hat Makers says to size up and use the foam insert it includes.
Is the Florence UPF rated?
The listing doesn't state a UPF rating, so don't assume one. The 3 1/4 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 Florence?
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.
