A natural straw hat with a wide brim. The hat is composed of a single braided straw sewn in the round and blocked to shape creating one piece for both the crown and the 4” wide brim. The inside of the crown is unlined but a .75” wide yellow synthetic Petersham ribbon is sewn along the interior crown. There is a white fabric label at the interior back that reads [ONE SIZE / MADE IN CHINA / HECHO EN CHINA / RN#42000] in black text.
