Straw Derby

Great quality, fits perfect.

Great product, but the size did not work for me.

I just needed a new hat. Liked this one so much I'll be ordering another (different style) as soon as I make up my mind between the boater and the straw top hat.

I wear derby hats all of the time. I've been looking for a quality straw derby for a long time, as it gets very hot in Alabama. This hat looks like a proper derby. There is one small thing wrong with the hat, it doesn't have a proper hat band. It should have a band with a bow, like the original hats. Other then that, a quality proper hat.

I created a felt Derby out of an old Indiana Jones fedora and liked it so much, I decided I wanted a straw one for summer. Love it, and was pleased to discover it was a Sunbody hat.

Great hat. I get lots of compliments

I had an outdoor steampunk event to attend right at the hottest days of the year (so far) here in Seattle. It was reaching the three digit mark when we are used to the high 70s being hot.
I didn't want to wear my regular bowler as it would roast my brain. This straw derby worked perfectly with my summer outfit.

Very well made, size ran large used a hat sizer fits perfect.
Great sweat band , was 97 degrees today, wore golfing walked 18 holes, kept sweat off face.
Would highly recommend.

I have a felt "bowler" that I purchased years ago elsewhere. My wife likes a taller crown, and I was in the market for a straw derby, since my receeding hairline is rapidly approaching the bald spot in the back. After looking at many sites that carry hats, I finally googled "straw bowler/derby" and your site came right up. The hat I bought came up as soon as your site opened. I was surprised that you carry it in my size which is "medicine ball" and it fits perfectly. In fact, I am not only more than happy, I am just tickled with my little self for making this purchase.

I was excited to find this straw bowler online and dumbfounded that you’re located in the Bay Area south of me!! Initially I was just looking for the standard wool bowler but was disappointed that my next opportunity to wear wool anything was next Fall. So I started looking for something out of straw — I figured there must be a seller out there. Well lo and behold! This hat is very unique and good looking.

Now my only issue is that I might stand out too much! ;))

there are many different types of straw used in hats. I believe that the strongest, and also very attractive is the straw used in Guatamala! I have had one for over 25 years and the straw derby is even better made. Some day I may buy the straw top hat, also the tough Guatamalin palm straw!

Love this straw derby. The fit is perfect just follow the sizing chart. The quality for the cost exceeds expectations.

This derby is a great fit and very cool in the hot Florida summer. I wear it for a 19th Century visitor program at the Castillo de San Marcos and it is much more comfortable in 90 degree whether than my other Emporium derby that I use in cooler weather.

Love the hat however the band is cheesy

Straw derby is very nice and cool-In every sense

Loved the Straw Derby - it is a perfect addition for my Kentucky Derby outfilt ---

The black band slid up towards crown of hat. Have to use adhesive to hold in place or remove completely. Otherwise, happy with purchase.

Great hat, seems to be well constructed. It is sized a little small in reference to the sizing chart.

Well made quality straw Derby. However, find out what your European hat size is and send that in. The sizes run a bit large with this product.

An outstanding straw derby hat for the money. I would recommend this type of hat to anyone who fancies them like me.

I needed a light hat for summer wear. The straw derby delivered just what I needed. It looks great and is cool.

A rarity among men's straw/palm hats, the Straw Derby as offered by the Historical emporium is simply brilliant. Light, comfortable, holds its shape well, and receives abundant compliments. Thoroughly pleased!

perfect fit, great styling.

The real hat of the west.

This hat finishes off my husband's outfit for our outdoor tea for our 25th anniversary vow renewal celebration. It is of the highest quality and looks great on him.

this is the greatest derby that I have ever purchased. I own four derbies and this derby fits the best.

I was really impressed with the quality weaving of this Derby. It's firm, but comfortable. The intricate detailing of construction (the quality of straw, and weaving thereof) gives me confidence of its durability and long lasting use I search for.

Good solid quality, but a bit heavier than expected for a summer straw hat. Size was a problem for me, so unfortunately had to return it. Thank you.

Excellent quality! My husband loves this hat. He had been looking foe one for awhile. We were lucky to find this one.

This hat is so cool! Everyone who sees me wearing this hat loves it and it makes me look good playing my steel guitar. The quality is great, the price was right and the service was A1. Thanks for making it available!

I am really enjoying my straw derby. I was very impressed with the salesman I spoke with over the phone. He answered my questions respectfully, and was very well mannered with me. I was really pleased with how well the derby is constructed, no loose straws or small holes. I would definitely buy from this company again. I've actually been looking recently, just haven't deceided on what I want yet. Thank You. James Edward Owens

Excellent lid . . . as high quality as many I've seen for 3 times the price. Can't beat it for summer or resort wear.

I wore it at a summer party recently, and got many compliments.

My husband has a nice collection of hats and derbys and likes to trade off wearing a different one almost daily.
I found your hat on line and really liked it, my husband had been wanting a new straw hat, so I decided to get it for him for Father's Day. I must mention he likes to re-shape all his hats to fit his own style. He doesn't want it to look like everyone else's.
It's an awesome hat, very good quality. We love it.........................................
