Our take · Researched, not tested

An ivory straw with a soft downturn, like sunglasses for your hat.

By Margo Lane, straw and sun hats desk Pen name, fact-checked by our team

A downturned brim frames the face and adds a bit of mystery, which is never a bad thing on vacation. The women's Havana is ivory toyo straw with a 4 in crown, a 2 1/2 in brim that slopes down, and a band of 16-ligne grosgrain ribbon finished with a bow. A Velcro sweatband adjusts the fit, and it is imported. Pair it with a slip dress and sandals for an evening stroll through a seaside town.

Margo's tip: Store it away from a sunny windowsill and a hot car. Heat is rough on any straw.

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 Havana UPF rated?

The listing doesn't state a UPF rating, so don't assume one. Shade depends on the brim and how tight the weave is. 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 Havana?

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.
