A raffia cowboy hat that goes into a duffel and comes out looking like it never went in.
Highlights
✓Crochet raffia in an open weave — air moves through the crown, which is the entire reason straw beats felt in August.
✓Wired edge brim bends and holds — flatten it flush, curl it Western, or drop the front for shade, and it stays where you put it.
✓Reshapes instead of creasing, so it packs for a trip rather than riding on your lap through the airport.
✓Classic cattleman crown keeps the silhouette properly Western — a hat you own, not one you bought at the festival gate.
✓Four sizes from 55 to 61 — a genuine size range rather than one-size-fits-whoever, which is what makes a hat this shape actually sit right.
Straw covers the summer half of a Western wardrobe. Where the felt hats in this range are structured, weighty and built for cooler months, Ames is the one for a beach afternoon, an outdoor concert or a long patio dinner — light enough to forget about, open enough not to cook underneath. The brim throws honest shade across your face and shoulders without the density of felt, and the wire lets you decide how much of it sits low.
Crochet raffia straw in Natural or Chocolate. Sizes exactly as GIGI PIP lists them: XS 55, S/M 57, M/L 59, XL 61 — the figures are head circumference in centimeters, so measure around your head just above the ears and take the nearest size. No brim width, crown height or care instructions are published for this style, and no UPF or sun-protection rating is stated — the shade is what a wide brim gives you, nothing certified.
