This unisex West African straw hat is both beautiful and useful. Tightly woven and stiff-brimmed, it is an excellent sun hat. It has a braided leather adjustable chin strap, will fit a 23"-24" circumference head, and has a 16" diameter brim. Handmade from elephant grass and goatskin in the Bolgatanga region of Ghana, and sometimes referred to as a Bolga hat.

To shape the hat, wet it and put it over your head, then remove it and allow it to dry. It will conform to the shape of your head and also will stretch as much as .25" if necessary.

Best African straw hats
Just received this hat and couldn't be more happier with it. Quality is great. If you're shopping for a larger size hat then make sure to measure your head and go by the dimensions listed on the hat. My head measured at 23 1/2 inches and this fit perfect. Will be buying a few more of these.
