Wide-Brim Straw Hat, Pinched Crown

It depends on the line you are after. The flat wide brim gives the cleanest, most modern shape. The open-weave piece, with its small tassel, is the most tactile and relaxed. The wide brim, with a softly pinched, fedora-style crown, is the easy and versatile one that suits most days. The oversized brim is for a little more presence, when you want the hat to lead.

Keep it understated and let it finish the outfit rather than define it. Worn with a summer dress, with linen or with relaxed separates, this hat sits easily at a garden lunch, on the terrace or out in town. The trick is restraint: one considered piece, worn simply, reads as style rather than fancy dress.

These are easy, versatile pieces. A light summer dress for the garden or a warm-weather occasion; linen or relaxed tailoring for a terrace lunch or a weekend away. Kept to a simple palette, a hat like this works right across a summer wardrobe, for women and men alike.

Think of brim width as a question of proportion and style. A clean wide brim frames the face and keeps a balanced, classic line. The flat boater brim reads sharper and more modern. The oversized brim makes the most of scale, and is best when you want the hat to lead. Choose the width by the look you are after, not by the measurement.

Each piece is woven, and the weave is the point. Across the collection the weave varies: some are close and finely braided, others more open and textural, and some are finished with a small tassel or a woven band. Where a band or trim appears, it is part of the design, whether a grosgrain band or a slim tan strap. We focus on the construction you can see and feel.

A few simple habits keep it looking its best. Lift it by the brim rather than pinching the crown, so the shape holds. Rest it upside down on its crown, or on a hat stand, so nothing presses on the brim. Keep it somewhere dry, and reshape the brim gently with your hands if it softens over time.

Each hat shows its available size in the size selector on its product page, so you can choose before you buy. If you are between sizes or unsure which to pick, get in touch and we will help you find the right fit.
