Gardening is a breeze with the plentiful shade delivered by the Stetson Rustic. Even lifeguards will love how this straw hat's brim is so wide.

Spring means the start of gardening season, and even in March and April you should protect yourself from the sun’s harsh rays.

Stetson’s brand new “Rustic” straw hat is the best friend of gardners, lifeguards and anybody else who spends a lot of time outdoors. This summer straw is made from thick palm leaves that help block the sun’s powerful UV rays. It has a very wide 3 3/4-inch downturn brim, which provides about as much shade coverage as any hat we carry.

As a summer hat, it is fairly light weight. The crown has vents on each side to help vent the heat from your head and allow breezes to help cool you.

Great for both men and women, this straw hat has an elastic headband to provide the best possible fit. Windy days are no trouble at all with the attached chin strap.

Gardening, lawn work and the great outdoors have never been more rewarding than with the comfortable protection of shade from a Stetson Rustic.
