Our take · Researched, not tested

Cream bangora straw with studs. The classic summer cowboy hat.

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

Cream straw is the color most folks picture on a hot July day at the fairgrounds, and the Montana delivers it in firm, midweight bangora. The cowboy crown rises 4 1/2 in, the brim spans 4 in, and a studded faux leather band adds a little shine. An elastic sweatband sits inside. Sizes run SM through XL. Pair it with a light chambray shirt and you're set for the county fair.

Margo's tip: Hats off for the anthem. Hold it over your heart with the crown facing out.

Questions

Which size of the Montana 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. XL fits heads 23 5/8 to 24 1/4 in (60 to 61 cm) on American Hat Makers' chart. Between sizes, American Hat Makers says to size up and use the foam insert it includes.

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.

Can you travel with the Montana?

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.
