Wheat Fine

USD 158USD only · tax shown at checkout

Selected thinner stalks give roughly a third more rows across the same brim. The surface reads smoother and the seams almost close. It is still a wheat hat: it holds one shape and resents any other.

How open the weave is

Fine tight braid — light reduced to a faint seam grain.

Braid woven in Tuscany, Italy · hand-blocked in Gata de Gorgos, Spain.

Head circumference

Measure just above the ears, level across the forehead. Between two ranges, take the larger.

Adding counts the badge up in the header. Nothing opens over the page and nothing is charged until you review the order.

This hat does not fold or roll. It needs to travel keeping its shape — a hat box is the reliable way to do that, and it is not added automatically.

Straw is a plant

Four things
this hat does.

Printed before you buy, not after you complain. A hat that cannot carry all four lines does not go on sale here.

  • Cracking

    Wheat straw holds its shape and pays for it: fold it and the stalk snaps. Dry heat in storage brings the same result.

  • Fading

    The gold goes paler and slightly grey over a season in the sun.

  • Reshaping

    It resists reshaping. Steam over a kettle for a few seconds and press gently — do not force a cold brim.

  • Weave gaps

    The stalks sit close together. Light shows as a fine seam line rather than as open gaps, but it does get through.

Care

  • Keep it out of dry heat

    Never leave it in a parked car or against a radiator. Dry heat is what makes straw crack.

  • Mist, do not soak

    A light mist of water two or three times a season keeps the fibres supple. Do not soak it.

  • Reshaping

    Hold it in kettle steam for a few seconds, then press gently into shape and let it cool before wearing.

  • Storage

    Store it upside down on its crown, or in a hat box. Never stack anything on the brim.
