Our take · Researched, not tested

Navy paper braid, a fringe edge and a 4 in brim of shade.

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

Fringe on a sun hat is a small, happy detail, and the Joy wears it along the brim edge. It is sewn navy paper braid with a round crown of 3 1/2 in and a 4 in brim, generous enough to shade the face and the back of the neck. Twine strands make the band, tied at the back. A drawstring adjusts the fit, and it is one size. It is imported. Pair it with a white peasant top for a boho beach day.

Margo's tip: A 4 in brim catches the wind. Hold it by the crown on breezy boardwalks, not the fringe.

Questions

What size is the Joy?

The store lists it as one size, which it describes as one size fits most. If you measure at either end of the size chart, a fitted hat in your size may sit better. A foam insert can take up a little room.

Is the Joy UPF rated?

The listing doesn't state a UPF rating, so don't assume one. The 4 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 Joy?

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.
