Belfry Handmade Palmer - Raffia Gambler Hat (Medium)

Description

The Palmer hat takes shape in the well known but lesser worn gambler style. The hat has a creased oval crown and a medium, slightly turned up brim. The classic silhouette is handmade from raffia straw in the U.S. for the Belfry Brand. The raffia body is crushable, meaning it can be tucked into a suitcase or briefcase and springs back into shape when it comes out of the bag. You can pack the hat to have for your destination, rather than holding it in your lap for your whole time in transit. The Palmer gambler is a light, natural straw color. It has an olive green webbed hat band with a woven texture. A twill hat band and liner along the crown helps the hat keep its form, and also absorbs sweat and allows for better airflow when worn to keep things cool. The medium-width brim provides more shade and protection from the sun than other styles with narrower brims. The sun protection plus the cool weave of the raffia make this the perfect summer hat to be worn around town or far off destinations.
