Our take · Researched, not tested

Camel paper straw with a cowboy curl for hot summer arenas.

Paper straw is a warm-weather choice, and the Josie in camel keeps it classic. It is 100% paper straw with a 4 in crown and a cowboy curl on a 3 1/2 in brim, a size that clears truck roofs and still shades your face. An elastic sweatband handles fit, and it comes in S/M or L/XL. It is imported. Wear it to a summer rodeo, a lake day or a backyard barbecue.

Margo's tip: Paper straw dislikes a soaking. If it gets wet, reshape gently and let it dry naturally.

Great for

  • Summer rodeos and lake days
  • Truck rides, thanks to a 3 1/2 in brim
  • Backyard barbecues

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 Josie should I get?
It comes in Camel / S/M and Camel / L/XL. S/M fits heads 22 1/8 to 22 3/4 in on American Hat Makers' chart. L/XL fits heads 22 7/8 to 23 5/8 in on American Hat Makers' chart. Between sizes, size up and use an insert.
Is the Josie 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 Josie?
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.
