Pineapple&Star Sun Straw Fedora Beach Hat Fine Braid UPF50+ for Unisex

I picked up this hat for outdoor days and vacations, and it has been a great addition to my summer wardrobe. The fine braid design gives it a clean, classic appearance that looks more polished than a typical beach hat. It has a simple style that works well for both men and women and pairs easily with casual summer outfits. The size fit comfortably and felt secure without being too tight. It has a nice balance between coverage and comfort, making it easy to wear for several hours at a time. The lightweight design also makes it comfortable in warm weather without feeling heavy on the head. One of my favorite things about this hat is how portable it is. It’s easy to pack for travel and doesn't take up much space in a suitcase or beach bag. After taking it out, it was easy to reshape and get ready to wear. Cleaning is fairly simple, although I would recommend spot cleaning rather than fully washing it to help maintain the shape and material. The overall quality feels good, and the fine braid construction gives it a durable feel while keeping the hat breathable. It's also very easy to use since there are no complicated adjustments or features. Just put it on and go. It's a comfortable, stylish, and practical option for beach days, vacations, outdoor events, or everyday summer wear.

2024 UPDATE (original below): STILL ROCKING THIS GREAT HAT! I ALWAYS get compliments on this hat. It's held up very well. The brim is still straight. It's a great way to add black in the summer as it's straw. This will go great with your black and white outfits! Great quality for the price. I keep it low on my wall of hats because I grab it often. I just received this hat and I really like the brim and for the really low price it seems to be good quality. Unfortunately it arrived mis-shapened. I really like it so I reordered. I don't feel like reshaping a brand new hat hat. It's new so. Hoping for the best. I'll update once the new one arrives. Thankfully Amazon returns are a breeze. The hat arrived in a clear zipped plastic bag shaped like a hat. Maybe a cardboard box to protect the brim and crown might work better. I'm not sure. Looking forward to the new arrival. If all goes well I'll give it a 5 star rating because it's the right shape and color. UPDATE: 2 days later I have an update.😊 The replacement hat arrived and looks good. It doesn't has those waves like the one in the pic. The hat fits well! I really like how flat the brim is. Again, it feels like quality. It's pretty light as well. I haven't worn it out (it just arrived), but putting it on my head it feels like it will be fine to wear all day. I purchased large and I like this size because the front inner area near my forehead doesn't feel like it start get irritating from close wear all day. In other words, no pressure there. I will still shape it a tad bit and use a stiffner to get it just the way I want it. It is collapsible so I guess that may account for these hats not having the perfect crown. I included a single third pic to demonstrate. But that's just beung VERY nit picky. The hats really do seem well made. Another update after my first wear test.😉

I ordered this hat for my father based on its look and the reviews. The reviews are correct. This is an excellent hats. It's constructed well, arrives in a protective packaging that keeps the brim from getting smashed. Contained in the package is cushioning in case you want the hat to fit a little more snug. The hat also has an adjustment band inside. If your head measurements meets the upper limit of a particular hat size's measurement, my suggestion is to just buy the next size up. This way you can always use the padding or adjustment band to get a perfect fit. You won't be able to stretch the hat out if you buy a hat that fits snug rather than comfortable. I was going to buy another hat for the same price from a fashion website with the intials BR, but that hat looks less classy than this hat from Pineapple Star. I bought this hat for my father and he looks amazing in it. He's in his mid 70's and I wanted him to have a hat to shade his face & head but look dressier than a boonie hat but less formal than a fedora. The brim on this hat isn't floppy but you can still finesse it into a style that suits you. I liked this hat so much that I purchased one for myself. UPDATE: 6/30/20 The hat I purchased for myself just arrived! This is definitely a stylish hat. The size small fits better than the large. I noticed, like others, that the hat seems shallow and doesn't come down to the ears. I saw some photos of women with their hats fitted down to their ears. Mine left about 2 inches above the ear. So I pulled that hat down with a little force to bring it closer to my ears. I kept hearing a tearing sound as I pulled it down. I took the hat off to inspect it but there were no tears in the material. I checked the inside and I realized it was the velcro strap that was slowly pulling apart as I pulled the hat down. So I just unlatched the velcro connection and voila, the hat proceeded to come down to my ears WITHOUT pushing the indented crown part of the hat outward. So now I have a perfect fit, a perfect look, all thanks to a perfect hat. I highly recommend this hat. It's classy yet casual and definitely not floppy. The brim is stiff enough to maintain its shape yet flexible enough for you to bend it into the shape that you want. It will then hold that shape. Thanks PineApple & Star PRO TIP: If your hat fits snug out the box, simply undo the velcro belt on the inside. Feel free to pull the hat down further on your head. You won't damage the hat.

I have a few expensive Panama hats but I am very impressed with the style and flexibility of this hat. It looks and feels really good. It is easy to form to your style and is shipped very protected. I was able to wear it right out of the box. Good sun protection with style! I would definitely buy again or buy an additional color.

While the quality is excellent, the sizing is not. In order to achieve a smaller size you have to insert two foam fillers into the brim. Not a good design.

The fedora hat was beautiful, but my husband wasn’t happy with how the top of it touched the top of his head and the fit was a little bit too big. We couldn’t get it small enough otherwise it’s a beautiful hat. The color is beautiful and the value for the money is great. The shape is great

The hat arrived packaged securely in a box that prevented any deformities or damage during transit. The quality of the hat is great. It feels solid and the weave looks extremely well. The hat is comfortable and the velcro adjuster on the back helps to get the size just right. I like that the chinstrap can be added and tucked up into the hat when not needed. I prefer to not use one, but they are nice on windy days. When the hat arrived, I could see two marks where the chin strap connected but there wasn’t a cut or hole for me to insert the ends of the strap through. I ended up getting a jewelers tool (small screwdriver) and poked the holes to allow the strap to connect. My only complaint is where the weave ends at the top of the hat. There are two spots and they both have straw or plastic poking downward. This made the hat painful and uncomfortable to wear and I thought about returning it but I placed bandaids over both spots and that works great. Now the hat is comfortable to wear.

Wow! I am truly impressed with this hat. For the money I don't think you can do any better. The protective packaging was on par with hats that cost 3 times as much and the hat itself is all around great. Great looking, great materials and even came with sizers and decorative pins if you're into that. I'm 6'2- 210 pounds with a large bald head and the large fit beautifully!

Stylish, well made. Love this hat!

I've had this hat for over a year and it's been dragged around the world in suitcases but still retains it's shape. I don't roll it, I just pack stuff around it. Without the chin strap I would have lost it a hundred times. When I'm not using the strap I just tuck it into the tag at the back. Would never buy a hat without this option again. I have a smaller head so was concerned it would be too big but with the adjustment it's perfect.

So perfect and very nice style!

Was expecting it to arrive like it was described, in a hard pre-formed plastic to protect the shape of the hat. Instead it arrived in a simple plastic bag

Great quality hat, I took the time to measure myself before ordering, and I appreciate that the hat has concealed adjustments to get that perfect fit. I would definitely buy again
