FAQs

What is Bangora straw?

Bangora is a durable woven paper straw used in many western hats. It’s lightweight, breathable, and designed for warm-weather wear.

How should I store a straw cowboy hat?

Keep it in a cool, dry place and avoid stacking items on top of it. Resting it upside down on the crown helps maintain the brim shape.

Can this hat handle rain?

The hat includes a water-resistant finish, so light moisture won’t usually cause issues. If you get it saturated, allow it to air dry naturally. Avoid using heat or sunshine to accelerate the drying process.
