The Conical Sun Hat

Few hat designs are older or more functional: a light cone of straw, bamboo or palm leaf keeps sun off the face and shoulders, lets air circulate underneath, and shrugs off rain. Gardeners and travelers in the West adopted it for the same reasons. Modern versions add fabric linings, chin cords and woven synthetic straws that survive packing better than natural leaf.

Buying Through a General Hat Store

Niche sun styles are often stocked by broad-range stores like the one listed here, where the same visit can cover felt, western, dress and straw hats and leather goods. When ordering a conical hat, check the diameter for the shade you need and whether it is natural straw - which wants gentle handling - or a woven synthetic made for travel.
