About MeThis sun hat has a blue and yellow flower and trellis printed design.

It is made from a circle of cotton fabric stiffened by wire around the brim.

The fabric is gathered slightly around the centre of the hat.

There is a circular gap at the top of the hat where the fabric has been tightly gathered.
More About Me
A very interesting piece of head gear. A practical folding hat that will keep the sun from ever seeing your face, neck and head. Would you dare to wear this in public?
