This large, fair trade West African straw hat is both beautiful and useful. Tightly woven and broad brimmed, it makes an excellent sun hat. It has a braided leather adjustable chin strap, will fit a 23"-24" circumference head, and has a 17" diameter brim. It is handmade in the Bolgatanga region of Ghana, and is sometimes referred to as a Bolga hat. Woven from elephant grass, these hats have a stiff weave that softens with wear. They are not floppy or foldable.
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.
