Our take · Researched, not tested

Crocheted raffia with a wire in the brim, so you can shape your shade.

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

Crochet gives the Nova an open, handmade look, and the material is 100% raffia in natural. A wire runs through the brim, which lets you bend the 4 in edge up or down to suit the sun. The round crown sits at 3 1/4 in with no band, and a drawstring inside adjusts the fit. It's sized MD. Take it to the beach, the pool or a garden that needs weeding.

Margo's tip: Bend the wire brim gently, a little at a time, rather than folding it hard in one spot.

Questions

Which size of the Nova 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. Between sizes, American Hat Makers says to size up and use the foam insert it includes.

Is the Nova 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 Nova?

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.
