Brown Union Jack Cowboy Hat in Paper Straw Western StyleThe Union Jack cowboy hat is the summer festival piece that works because it is unambiguously fun without being entirely disposable. The British flag design applied to a western cowboy silhouette is a specific combination that a certain type of confident festival goer has been wearing for decades, and this paper straw version from Novella Hats is the most wearable version of that idea. Made from eco friendly paper straw, the hat is lightweight enough

circular crown in soft wool

The satin interior lining provides comfort for extended formal wearing and the PVC sweatband manages moisture throughout the occasion

Teal is the colour that makes this Broadway fedora the most distinctive in the Novella range

The leather concho band wraps the crown base with a period-accurate detail that lifts the overall quality of the hat's appearance

The black Homburg pairs with charcoal and navy formal suits

The result is a waterproof cowboy hat that looks as considered as it functions
