What can I wear with my Driftwood Western Hat?
 

Casual town or weekend

Jeans or bootcut denim, a relaxed tee or a country shirt, and a simple belt keep things easy. Great for farmers’ markets, feed runs, or kicking around town.

Festival, muster, or concert

Try a denim skirt or dress for a western-meets-boho outfit. The shapeable brim adds character, and the raffia keeps things cool when you’re outside all day.

Beach or holiday look

Linen pants or shorts, bathers or a relaxed dress. The raffia construction works well as a casual summer hat, giving shade while remaining light.

FAQs
 

How do I know which size I will need in the Driftwood Hat?

To establish your size as per your head measurement, measure the circumference around your head - approximately 12mm (1/2") above your ears. Keep the dressmaker tape level and firm, and keep it across your temple and above your eyebrow ridges. You want a close fit, but not so firm that the band leaves a mark on your forehead when you have worn your hat for a period of time. The S-M (56-57cm) or M-L (58-59cm) sizing covers most women comfortably, and the internal band gives a secure but relaxed feel.

How do I care for a raffia hat?

Give it a light brush for dust, avoid soaking it, and keep it away from direct heat. If it loses shape, gently reform the brim or crown.

Will it suit western outfits as well as casual wear?

Absolutely. The neutral tone and crochet style work with jeans, skirts, dresses, work gear or beach outfits - it’s a flexible all-rounder.
