Our take · Researched, not tested

Cream cowgirl hat with a wide brim, ready for sunny festivals.

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

Cream with a wide brim is the summer cowgirl look in one move. The women's River is listed as cotton canvas, despite the bangora straw in its name, and it takes an Americana western shape with a crown of 4 1/2 in and a brim of 4 in. The sweatband is elastic, and sizes go SM, MD, LG and XL. It suits outdoor concerts, county fairs and ranch weddings.

Margo's tip: Store it on its crown in a cool spot, and keep it off the back seat on hot days.

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.
