Straw Cowboy Hat with Beaded Band
Description
The Hat
A cowboy hat woven from paper straw, with a wide, gently upturned brim and a centre-pinched cattleman crown. The weave has a light, dry, open feel, and a chin drawstring with a wooden bead toggle keeps it settled on breezy days. A braided band sets it apart, finished with turquoise-toned beads, a concho-style disc and a small feather trim. It comes in six colourways, from soft naturals to coffee brown and black.
How to Wear It
Considered for warm weekends away and bright garden days, it sits easily with denim, linen and an open shirt. The beadwork gives it a relaxed, well-travelled feel, so one piece carries a whole summer look. Worn with everyday clothes, it reads as considered rather than costume.

Frequently asked questions
Will a cowboy hat suit me?
Most likely, yes. It is a question of shape rather than a certain kind of person. As a rule, a wider brim balances a fuller face or broader shoulders, while a narrower brim suits finer features. Try one level on the brow first, then tipped back a touch, and look at it from the side as well as the front.
How do I wear one without it looking like fancy dress?
Keep everything else quiet. One Western piece is plenty, so let the hat lead and pair it with everyday clothes like linen, denim or a plain knit. Skip the matching boots and belt, which tip the look into costume. Worn as an ordinary hat, with the rest of your wardrobe understated, it reads as considered.
Which shape should I choose?
This one is about the cut of the crown and brim, not your head measurement (for that, see the Head sizing panel above). Our cowboy hats come in a few crown shapes: a cattleman, creased down the centre with a dip each side; a gambler, with a rounder, oval crown; and a teardrop, pinched once at the front. A wider brim broadens the line and a taller crown adds height, so balance the hat against your face and frame.
Where can I wear a cowboy hat in the UK?
Further than you might think. Our cowboy hats earn their place at summer festivals, garden parties, country weekends and holidays in the sun, anywhere relaxed and outdoors. The wide brim brings a little welcome shade on bright days. Think of it as a warm-weather hat for the spring to early-autumn stretch of the British year, rather than formal or wet-weather wear.
How do I choose between the styles in the collection?
Start with where you will wear it and how dressed-up you need to be, then let colour and feel decide. As a guide, straw feels light and summery and sits well at festivals and on holiday; felt feels more structured and carries into cooler, dressier days. Natural and cream tones are the easiest to pair, while a stronger colour makes more of a statement.
Do cowboy hats suit men and women?
Both, easily. A cowboy hat is unisex by nature, and ours are for anyone drawn to the shape. The difference tends to be in the styling rather than the hat itself: the same piece reads differently with tailoring, with denim, or with a summer dress. Pick the one you like, and let the rest of your outfit set the tone.
New to hats? Is a cowboy hat a good place to start?
It can be a very good one. A cowboy hat has enough shape to feel deliberate, yet it is easy to wear with everyday clothes, so it rarely feels like too much. Begin by wearing it on relaxed days, outdoors or away for the weekend, until it feels like yours. If you are unsure, keep the colour natural and the rest of your outfit plain, and let the hat do the work.
