Our take · Researched, not tested

A cream fedora with brass conchos and a chin cord for gusty days.

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

The Milan is a fedora built from a paper and cotton blend with vented canvas, done here in cream. Its 4 in crown sits over a 2 1/2 in brim, and the band is faux leather embossed with a pattern and set with brass conchos. An adjustable chin cord comes along, and the sweatband is elastic. AHM also gives it a protective sealant meant to hold the shape. Sizes run from MD up past XX. Cream suits summer cookouts and boat days.

Margo's tip: If it gets splashed at the lake, blot it and let it air dry on its crown.

Questions

Which size of the Milan should I get?

Measure your head where the hat sits and match it to the chart. MD fits heads 22 to 22 3/4 in (56 to 57 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 Milan 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.

Can you travel with the Milan?

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.
