Orange Straw Wide-Brimmed Hat with Raffia Band

1970s · 1960s · American

A wide-brimmed sun hat featuring a structured dome crown in bright orange woven straw with a distinctive open-weave pattern that creates geometric perforations throughout the surface. The crown maintains a rounded, helmet-like shape typical of 1960s millinery. A natural raffia band encircles the base of the crown, secured with what appears to be a small orange accent or tie. The brim extends approximately four inches from the crown, constructed in a darker tan or brown straw with a tighter weave that provides sun protection while maintaining flexibility. The contrast between the bright orange crown and natural-toned brim creates visual interest while the open-weave construction offers ventilation.
