Our take · Researched, not tested

Crisp white Panama fedora. Very bridal shower, very garden party.

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

White Panama straw reads clean and dressy, which makes this Medellin a go-to for summer celebrations. It's soft genuine Panama straw with a fedora crown 4 in high and a 3 in brim, finished with a grosgrain ribbon band and a velcro sweatband inside. Sizes run SM, MD and LG. Wear it with pastels, eyelet cotton or a simple white dress if you're the one being celebrated.

Margo's tip: Keep white straw out of a hot car, and put it on by the brim edges so sunscreen on your fingers stays off the crown.

Questions

Which size of the Medellin 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. LG fits heads 22 7/8 to 23 1/2 in (58 to 59 cm) on American Hat Makers' chart. Between sizes, American Hat Makers says to size up and use the foam insert it includes.

Is the Medellin UPF rated?

The listing doesn't state a UPF rating, so don't assume one. The 3 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 Medellin?

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.
