A good summer hat

[Barbara]

Looking for something similar to the big floppy ones of the 30s. A repro would be better because I wouldn't worry about it so much. It's going to be a long, hot summer here in CA, so I need to find one that will offer plenty of shield.

Anyone ideas ladies? thanks

I am going to head up to Barbara Feinman this week end, because the hats she is doing are incredible! I don't know if I'll be able to afford one though

I saw her website. They are beautiful hats, but I need one to drag around all summer, and for the price, I would only want to wear it on occassion. I need to find a decent knockoff.

I usually have great luck at Dillards and Steinmart, that way you can try them on. Or if you want to order online, amazon.com has quite a few hats, I think these are cute

Wow @ Feineman hats.....I want!!!!!! I Want!!!!

Do you have Monsoon or Accesorize over in the USA? I got a fab floppy brimmed hat there in summer last yr, they tend to repeat it every yr. Cost about £20 ($40?) However, in the sale was a bashed one (ever so slightly) so I bought that one too, cut the crown out and now wear my hair piled up through the crown....Looks sweet in summer!

I have that first one! It is a great beach or pool hat. It's perfectly floppy and much like Scarlett O'Hara.

Thanks for the links. I've been thinking about getting a good summer hat like the one in my avatar.

I like this one especially:
