Our take · Researched, not tested

A cream Americana cowboy hat with a full 4 in brim.

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

The River's name mentions bangora straw, but the material AHM lists is cotton canvas, in cream. It's shaped in an Americana western style with a 4 1/2 in crown and a 4 in brim, wide enough to shade your face and neck on a sunny afternoon. An elastic sweatband sits inside. Sizes run SM through XL. Wear it to a summer rodeo, a lake day or a backyard barbecue.

Margo's tip: If the size chart puts you between two, take the bigger one and add a sizer. Elastic helps, but only so much.

Questions

Which size of the River 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 River 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 River?

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.
