Our take · Researched, not tested

Two-tone black straw on a safari crown. Sharp, a little sporty.

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

The Nero weaves two tones into soft paper braid straw, so the black has some texture when you get close. Its crown is a safari shape 4 in high, the brim is 2 3/4 in, and a 1 in grosgrain ribbon band keeps the trim clean. AHM's velcro sweatband adjusts inside, with sizes SM through XL. Wear it with a polo and shorts on a resort trip or with a camp-collar shirt at a summer cookout.

Margo's tip: Wear it level, with the front of the brim snapped slightly down if you like a sharper look.

Questions

Which size of the Nero 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 Nero 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 Nero?

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.
