Our take · Researched, not tested
Plain cream straw. The fedora you grab when you can't decide.
By Margo Lane, straw and sun hats desk
Pen name, fact-checked by our team
Some summer hats need an outfit planned around them. Solid cream doesn't, which is why it lives by the door all season. This St Lucia is woven from paper braid in one even shade, shaped with a 4 1/2 in teardrop crown and a 2 3/4 in brim that keeps sun out of your eyes. It comes in S/M or L/XL, and the Velcro sweatband adjusts within each. Navy shorts, a chambray shirt, boat shoes: all fine. Imported.
Margo's tip: Between S/M and L/XL, measure first with our size chart, then use the adjustable sweatband to fine-tune the last bit.

Questions
Which size of the St Lucia 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 St Lucia 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 St Lucia?
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.

No. American Hat Makers sells it. The store button opens their product page, and we earn a commission if you buy, at no cost to you.
