Asian Sun Hat

For centuries, farmers in Asia have relied on broad-brimmed hats to shield their scalp, ears, and neck from sunburn. These Asian peasant hats provide a wide area of portable shade and are perfect for working outside. These oversized hats are made from handwoven reeds that are woven in two layers for extra strength and durability.

The hats are large enough to cover extra-large heads, even if you have a full head of hair. Their conical shape ensures that the hat stays on. Even in moderate winds, peaked caps offer protection against sunstroke and windburn.

This Asian style hat includes an elastic chinstrap. This elastic band is glued to the inside of the hat at temple height. Often, Oriental hats were personalized with colorful chin straps tied to the "bones" underneath the cone hat.

Reeds are a sustainable material because they grow very quickly. This light-weight hat is comparable to a straw hat or bamboo hat and isn't very heavy at all. It's perfect for long hours in the sun, and the shape encourages airflow to cool down your head.
