Our all-time natural straw summer hat, plain and simple. It has a strong, sturdy weave and provides much-loved shade in the warmer seasons. Designed to be my garden hat, it has a warm golden striping that looks particularly good on pinky Scottish skin and the deeply under-tanned. If you feel a bit shy wearing hats, this one feels easy and comfortable.

The weave is extra dense so this hat is perfect if you are rough on hats, or are going to be travelling - it will outlast pretty much any Panama hat I make - except maybe the Traveller.
