Our take · Researched, not tested

Tan tarp cloth that already looks like it's seen a few trails.

The cotton on this outback has been distressed, so it starts life looking broken in. A tall safari crown, 4 3/4 in, sits over a 2 3/4 in brim, which is trim for an outback and easy to wear in a car or a crowd. The tan cotton gets a faux leather trim, and the sweatband is moisture wicking. Rule of thumb: a short brim shades your eyes, and only a wide one reaches your neck. It comes in MD and is imported.

Margo's tip: Pair it with sunscreen on the neck and ears. A 2 3/4 in brim keeps sun off the face but leaves the back on its own.

Great for

  • Casual trail days in tan cotton
  • A worn-in look straight from the box
  • Car rides and crowds with a 2 3/4 in brim

Skip it if

  • You need a hat that packs flat: the store doesn't list it as packable

Questions

Which size of the Shasta 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 Shasta 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.
Can you travel with the Shasta?
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 you wash the Shasta?
Check the care label on the store page first. Most fabric hats take a gentle hand wash in cool water and air drying on a bowl or balled towel so the crown keeps its shape. Skip the dryer.
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.
