This African straw hat is both beautiful and practical. Tightly woven, unlined and stiff-brimmed, it is an excellent sun hat. It has a braided leather adjustable chin strap, will fit a 21"-22" circumference head and has a 16" diameter brim. It's a wonderful gardening hat. Handmade in Ghana in West Africa from elephant grass and goatskin.
Our West African straw hats are unlined, but you can easily sew or glue a sweatband inside the crown if desired.
If you order this hat you will receive the exact one pictured. Each one is unique and handmade, and there is only one. See our full selection of African sun hats here.
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.
