Daphne Broad Brim Straw Fedora

I purchased my first Eric Javits hat, the Daphne Fedora, in natural/black, and was so pleased with the quality I've just ordered the Squishee IV in natural. This is a sophisticated wide brimmed fedora, with very clean cut lines, great balance and fit. Somewhere I read a suggestion to wear it at a tilt to soften the look a bit, and that's what I've done. This is not your average summer straw hat- the "fabric" is tightly woven and incredible with it's 50 UV protection and stiffer structure. I wore it at the beach last week in 100 degree heat and kept it on most of the day. It was light, comfortable and my face and neck were well protected, they actually felt cooler. The elastic inner band felt comfortable, not too tight, yet kept the hat on in moderate wind gusts. The "natural" color is a medium shade that looked good with my light hair and would compliment any coloring or clothing color. The Daphne Fedora is a beautiful, well designed and well made hat that should last for years. It should, for this price ! I think the quality is hard to find and worth it. I've become an Eric Javits fan and can hardly wait to try the Squishee IV and find my winter hat !
