FAQs
Is this hat machine washable?
No, this hat is made of straw and should not be machine washed. Spot cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended.
Can I fold this hat for travel?
It is not recommended to fold this hat as it has a structured design that may crack or lose its shape if compressed.
What material is the hat made of?
The hat is crafted from woven straw.
Does this hat provide UV protection?
While the wide brim provides physical shade, the straw material itself has not been rated for specific UPF protection.
What is the best way to store the hat?
Store it on a hat stand or in a cool, dry area where nothing heavy is resting on top of it.
Troubleshooting
Hat brim has lost its shape
Lightly steam the brim and carefully reshape it by hand, allowing it to cool and dry in the desired position.
Visible dust or debris in the weave
Use a dry, soft-bristled brush to gently remove debris without pulling on the straw fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
There is no setup required for this accessory; simply place it on your head to begin use. To maintain the structural integrity of the straw, avoid crushing the hat into small bags or tight luggage spaces. If the hat gets dusty, use a soft-bristled brush to gently clear the crevices. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct, high-intensity heat sources to prevent the straw from becoming brittle. If the hat becomes misshapen, you can use a light steam from a distance to gently coax the brim back into its original form.
