These hats go by various names on this side of the Pacific Ocean. Some call them Coolie Hats, Asian Conical Hats,
Chinese Fisherman Hats, etc. The fact is that this very functional hat is worn by both men and women in many different Asian countries. This particular example comes from Vietnam. When we were there buying our pith helmets (we are also PITHHELMETS.COM), we observed this light and simple hat being worn for both sun and rain protection. This simply is very good headgear. Garden shops should carry these. At times, this style even shows up on the fashion runways (true!).
Color: Natural as pictured.
Size: One-size with scarf to stabilize on the head.
