Summer Hat – Open-Knit Crown with Extended Front Peak and Back Toggle

Summer Hat – Air Through the Top, Shade Over the Eyes

Half hat, half visor: the crown is an open knit that lets air move straight through, while a long front peak throws real shade over the face. A toggle at the back sets the fit, so it stays put in a light breeze. It folds flat enough to go in a bag.

Why choose an open-knit summer hat?

The usual choice is a solid hat that heats up or a visor that leaves the top of your head bare. An open-knit crown covers the head and still breathes. The long peak handles the part a visor does well.

• Open-knit crown — air passes straight through the top so heat does not sit there.
• Extended front peak — a long, low peak casts real shade over the eyes for reading outside.
• Back toggle — tighten or release the band in a second for a fit that holds.
• Folds flat — the flexible brim packs into a bag and comes back out in shape.
• Striped band — a sporty band detail that keeps the look casual rather than formal.

Cool on top, shaded in front, and back in your bag when you are done.

Set the toggle so the band sits level rather than tilted; the peak then shades evenly. It suits long afternoons in a chair outside as much as a walk, because nothing presses on the forehead. Rinse it in cool water and let it dry in shape rather than over a radiator.
