Thank goodness for straw hats: they’re light and breezy, provide no-hands shade and rarely do they suddenly become assault weapons. Straw hats are also good for my health: look at my hands, they’re still shaking from the strain of nearly shish kebabing innocent bathers. That kind of stress level can’t be good for a person.
Take it from me: straw hats save lives. Wear one today (and scan the sky).

I was out on the Beach yesterday (I live in Boca Raton) and spotted a very cool looking Straw hat.The man sais it was a Sunbrella hat! But couldnt remember where he got it! Any Ideas? JC
Hi, Jim. Any hat with a good size brim can be called a sunbrella hat — I’ve seen some Puma bucket hats that are advertised as such, but I don’t think the brim is wide enough to really be effective.
Personally, I like Panama straw hats like The Christys’ Outback. There’s also a twisted seagrass fedora by Scala, where the underbrim and crown tip have been treated with Rayosan (a process that enhances fabric SPF).
