Our take · Researched, not tested

Tightly woven toyo straw with suede strips on the band.

The Johvan's straw is listed with a tight weave, which gives it a neat, even surface. It is lightweight soft toyo straw in natural, shaped as an outback with a 4 in crown and a 3 1/2 in brim. Two thin suede strips form the band, and an AHM Velcro sweatband adjusts the fit. It is imported. It's a sensible pick for golf, yard work or a summer road trip.

Margo's tip: Rest it crown down on the back seat during a road trip. A brim that rides upside down on a dash will warp.

Great for

  • Golf and yard work

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 Johvan should I get?
Measure your head where the hat sits and match it to the chart. SM fits heads 21 to 21 7/8 in (54 to 55 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 Johvan 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.
Can you travel with the Johvan?
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.
