Our take · Researched, not tested

A raffia fedora with a stitched band, for patios and boardwalks.

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

Raffia is a soft, natural fiber, and the Palermo uses it for a fedora with a 4 in crown and a 2 in brim. The faux leather band has border stitching and a crosspiece, giving the plain straw a tidy finish. An elastic sweatband sits inside, and it comes in S/M or L/XL. A short brim keeps it casual, so think boardwalk strolls, patio dinners and summer travel.

Margo's tip: A 2 in brim shades your eyes, not your neck. Add sunscreen on the back of your neck for long days out.

Questions

Which size of the Palermo should I get?

It comes in S/M and L/XL. S/M fits heads 22 1/8 to 22 3/4 in on American Hat Makers' chart. L/XL fits heads 22 7/8 to 23 5/8 in on American Hat Makers' chart. Between sizes, size up and use an insert.

Is the Palermo 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.

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 Palermo?

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.
