RDR Cowboy Hat 30X Natural Straw EJ108

A straw hat works on a different principle than a felt one. The crown is woven instead of pressed, so air moves through it rather than sitting trapped against your head — which is the entire reason to own one through a Dallas summer. Model EJ108, in natural straw.

On straw the X grade describes the weave rather than the fur content. A 30X weave is tight enough to hold a crisp crown and a clean brim edge instead of going soft after a few weeks of wear. What sets this model apart from the wider palm hats on our rack is the brim: 3 1/2", trimmer and easier to wear day to day. Brown sweatband, made in Mexico.
