An oversized, flat hat, sometimes called a "pancake hat," in a red polypropylene textured to resemble straw in a braided circular pattern. There is a decorative loop made of the same material of the hat's body at the exterior of the hat band. The loop is adhered by adhesive and stitches. A petersham ribbon is sewn along the circumference of the hat’s interior.
