Our take · Researched, not tested

Fawn wool felt in a teardrop outback, for cool days outdoors.

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

Fawn is a light, sandy brown, and on the New Beginnings it covers 100% wool felt shaped into a teardrop outback. The crown is 4 1/4 in tall and the brim about 3 1/8 in, a middle width that gives some shade without getting in the way. An adjustable velcro sweatband sits inside. Felt is the cool-weather pick, so wear it on autumn hikes, at the hunting cabin or on a frosty morning walk.

Margo's tip: If it gets caught in the rain, shake it off, set it on its crown and let it dry at room temperature.

Questions

Is the New Beginnings UPF rated?

The listing doesn't state a UPF rating, so don't assume one. The 3 1/8 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 New Beginnings?

Wear it on travel days. It isn't listed as packable, so it shouldn't go folded in a suitcase. For a checked bag, use a hat box with the crown stuffed.

How do you care for a felt hat like this?

A soft brush after dusty days, a rest on its crown, and no hot cars. If it gets rained on, shake it off, turn the sweatband down and let it air-dry at room temperature.

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.
