I wore this Eric Javits hat about 10 times total because it has always been a tad too tight. The circumference is 21". I should have checked. 😂 The straw is tightly woven for sun protection. The straw is a mix of light brown and dark brown with thin silver metallic thread running through it, which is what I loved about it - subtle not flashy. The front brim is 3" wide. There are no snags, holes, stains. All of the straw is intact and virtually new in textures. I just want this hat to find someone who will be able to wear it and enjoy it more!
