The Sirocco's scalloped applique gives this hat a western feel with a lighter weight than a typical western hat. Mesh ventilates and keeps the head cooler in hot weather. The reinforcing crown piece is double stitched, and reinforces the hat where you grab it. The leather blocks 100% of harmful UV rays and is tannery waterproofed. Comes with braided Cross hat band and chinstrap. Made to order - allow up to 2 - 4 weeks for delivery.
