With Indiana Jones about to make a major Hollywood comeback, people are rushing out to buy a hat like their favorite movie character wears. Straw fedoras are not only fashionable, but also are lightweight, durable and allow air to easily pass so that your head does not get hot and sweaty. Straw is the only material used to make hats that offers such airflow.
Continuation
The original Indiana Jones movies introduced the cherished character, played by Harrison Ford. This adventurous treasure hunter always managed to dodge the enemy with unique style. His wide-rimmed fedora added to his charm. Women loved him and men wanted to be just like him. The upcoming continuation of the Indiana Jones series is already promising to be this summer's blockbuster!
While Indiana Jones wore a hat made of felt, new interest has risen over the line of straw fedoras that offer the same sleek style, but in a less dense, breathable material. Straw is the perfect choice for a summer hat because it keeps your head cool.
Straw is an all-natural material that comes from the stalks of many grain plants including rice, wheat, rye, barley and oats. The stalk known as straw is hollow and weighs barely more than a feather. Straw grows easily throughout the world, so there is no danger of a supply shortage. This helps keep the prices extremely low. It's not hard to find straw fedoras for less than $40. With straw's natural insulation properties, hats do not cause you to overheat. Therefore, a straw hat is extremely lightweight and comfortable, even on the hottest day of the year.
Make sure you measure your head before ordering your hat. Hat sizes do vary. Most manufacturers sell them in small, medium, large and extra large. The key to being a fashionista lies in choosing the right size. Too big and it looks sloppy. Too small and it is obvious that you are cutting off circulation. Not to mention a hat that is too small is incredibly uncomfortable. If you are really stuck, ask the retailer for a guide to the sizes.
A straw fedora is a hot fashion trend, especially if you choose a fedora that has the safari rim. This rim is wider and meant to keep the sun out of your eyes. With the advent of the new Indiana Jones movie, you will want to jump in and get your straw fedora before they are sold out.
