Eric drew inspiration for this design from the simple sun bonnets, landscape artists wore in the mid-19th century. This timeless style, with a soft wide brim, banded with grosgrain ribbon, has chin strap ties of the same. The ribbon can be tied under your chin or at the back of your head on a windy day so you can enjoy the great outdoors fearlessly. While indoors, use the ties to let the hat dangle down your back. Squishee® is a man-made material incorporating recycled fibers that is lightweight and packable. It will not crack with wear or melt when wet and is more durable and lightweight than natural fiber straw.
