Wallaroo Hat CompanyMen’s Charleston Fedora – UPF 50+ UV Protection, Wide Brim Straw Sun Hat with Chin Strap, Adjustable Fit

My husband loves this hat. It fits well and is an excellent weight, especially when out in the sun. The UPF of 50+ is an awesome ++. This hat is well made and excellent quality.

This is a very nice hat with a decent size brim to keep the sun out of your eyes and off your ears. Light weight. Cotton lining keeps it cool. My husband removed the chin strap. Hat is so light that the first stiff breeze blew it off. Had to chase it down. Chin strap is somewhat difficult to put back once removed. Eyelets are pretty small and floppy. Best advice is to leave it on and tuck it up in the hat.

This Panama-style Fedora with a 3" brim is completely lined with stiff cloth to keep its shape. There are 4 vent holes. The hat finish is a natural loose weave seagrass, which has a rustic look. Great for everyday wear. I really like the darker tan color. I often wondered how long bright white will stay white. The detachable chin strap is nice to have if you are on a boat or in a breezy place. There is a drawstring for sizing. My size is 7-1/4 and the medium/large fits perfectly. I am very happy with the hat.

Looks good and high UPF, wife likes it on me, just what I needed as a guest at an outdoor summer wedding. Two things to know...- that which makes the high UPF also makes it not well ventilated so it's a little on the warm side, but I've had others that were worse- only comes in two sizes instead of the usual 3-4, and has a REALLY awkward 'shoestring' gimmick inside the inner headband to size it down; works, but not well...-1 star for that

I wear a 7 3/8 fitted hat, i ordered a med /large and the inner draw string adjustment makes it fit perfectly. Very well made hat. Very light and allows air circulation.

Planning to use this hat for summer golf in the Midwest, should provide good sun protection and good ventilation

Pleasantly surprised at the high quality. I was unsure about the sizing when ordering but the hat also has a strap inside for fine tuning it's fit that wasn't mentioned in the description.

I'd had a straw hat for many, many years with a wider brim and had looked in stores on occasion but everything I saw was basically a fashion fedora. The weave of my previous hat was open-air cross ventilation along the top sides. To make a long story short, it was the best coverage for me in the sun. However, it had become quite tattered as you might imagine and was in need of replacement.I pored over the hats here on Amazon and read reviews as I'm sure you do. I saw one hat that looked more akin to my previous hat and was less than half the cost of this one, but the reviews on it were marginal in some respects, so I kept looking. Anyway, this arrived in the appropriate time window and I tried it on. The feel was so much nicer than my old hat. It has some small punched holes for ventilation on the top and a lanyard - a feature I hadn't had before and wasn't necessarily looking for.Having said all this, I have had this for 2-3 weeks and use it regularly. It is comfortable, well constructed and doesn't make my head hot. If it does get warm, I can easily slip it off with the lanyard. The quality of the weave is far superior to my less costly hat and, it appears, others on the prime wardrobe site. One feature in this is a tie for the cloth band inside that goes around the base of the hat. In some respects, it helps secure it on the head as needed. This is worth the price and will serve you well for years to come.I would buy this again and will likely be looking at Wallaroo for a replacement straw hat for my wife soon.

I have found this hat to be great for sun screen protection and cool to wear.

Lovely elegant hat. Very comfortable and stylish.

This is a great hat. The large fits my husband’s XXXL head. The only thing I didn’t notice was that this hat is rigid and isn’t packable, I assumed they all were.

Great stylish hat for summer

Purchased for my husband who wanted protection from the sun, but didn't want to look like an old farmer. This is an attractive hat that fits the bill. The only surprise was the green fabric rim around the brim of the hat. Not a deal breaker, but the hat might look better if this fabric was a more muted tan to match the rest of the hat. All in all, satisfied with this purchase.
