A 10 cm brim in a tight paper-straw braid, with a cotton sweatband and a hidden chin cord.
Choose a size first.
The brim is wide enough to shade the shoulders, not just the face: 10 cm all round, with a slight downward curve at the front and back. The braid is paper straw - a twisted paper yarn - which is lighter and more even than natural straw and does not splinter. Inside is a cotton sweatband and an adjustable chin cord you can tuck away.
Paper straw is not for rain. A shower will spot it and a soaking will soften the brim permanently. It also does not pack: this hat travels on your head or in a hatbox, and the brim will take a dent if it is sat on.

Worn first. Every piece in the range was worn through a summer by somebody here before it was listed. What it did in that time - creasing, fading, pilling, softening - is written in the description above, not left for you to find out.

From 264 people who bought the Wide-Brim Straw Hat and were asked about it a month later.
Measured my head with a tape as the guide said, ordered an M, it fits without the chin cord. The brim is wider than it looks in the pictures, which is what I wanted.
Lasted a whole summer in the sun and the braid has not loosened anywhere. It did get a mark from a dropped ice cream, as warned, straw does not wash.
Lovely hat. Four stars only because I did not read that it is not packable and tried to pack it. That was on me; the page is clear.
Measure around your head with a soft tape, just above the ears and across the middle of the forehead, where a hat sits.

Straw does not stretch. If you are between sizes, take the larger one and use the chin cord or a folded strip of tissue under the sweatband.
