Our take · Researched, not tested

Black straw cowboy hat for summer nights that end at the dance hall.

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

Black straw is a less common sight than tan, and it gives a summer hat some after-dark edge. The Montana is midweight, firm bangora straw with a cowboy crown 4 1/2 in tall and a 4 in brim. Silver studs line a faux leather band, and the elastic sweatband sits inside. Wear it to an outdoor concert or a Friday night rodeo with a pearl-snap shirt and dark jeans. SM to XL.

Margo's tip: Store it on its crown when you get home. A 4 in straw brim keeps its shape best when nothing sits on it.

Questions

How should it fit?

Level on your head, about a finger above your eyebrows, clearing the tops of your ears. Sizes in stock run SM to XL. SM fits heads 21 to 21 7/8 in (54 to 55 cm) on American Hat Makers' chart. Between sizes, size up and add an insert.

Is the Montana 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 Montana?

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.
