Women's Untrimmed Squishee Straw Fedora

Squishee® Bayou Fedora Hat is a women's untrimmed squishee straw fedora designed for laid-back summer style, lightweight comfort, and dependable sun protection. Hand-blocked from patented Squishee® material, it offers the look and feel of natural raffia with the added benefits of superior durability, packability, and performance.

Its untrimmed silhouette gives the hat a relaxed, effortless character that feels especially easy to wear in warm weather. An integrated open-weave band at the base of the crown increases airflow, helping keep you cool on the hottest days while adding subtle texture to the classic fedora shape. The 3.5-inch brim provides balanced shade and a flattering, everyday profile.

Made from Squishee®, this fedora is lightweight enough to feel barely there and durable enough for repeated wear and travel. The material incorporates recycled fibers, resists cracking and splintering, and will not melt when wet. It also packs upside down in a suitcase with ease, making it especially useful for summer trips and everyday carry.

Squishee® Bayou Fedora Hat also offers advanced protection from the sun. Independent testing awarded this style the highest UPF 50+ rating, and it blocks 95% of UVA and UVB rays. An elasticized inner band fits most sizes for comfortable wear, while the signature logo at the back of the crown adds a subtle finishing detail.
