From $120

Same day dispatch

A giant brim Bolga hat, handwoven from undyed elephant grass, with a brim wide enough to shade the face and neck.
Bands of tight coiling and open lattice alternate around the brim and through the crown, all in soft natural straw tones. The open bands let air move through on hot days.

how To find your woven hat size

Measure around your head 
Using a soft tape measure (or a piece of string), measure around your head in the position you’d like the hat to sit.

Get an accurate fit
Adjust the tape to a comfortable fit and note the measurement in centimetres.

Find your size
Choose your Bolga hat size based on the chart. 
Consider if you prefer a snug, secure fit or a slightly looser, relaxed feel.

Optional: Note your head circumference in the Notes section when you check out.

Is this Bolga hat handwoven?
Yes. Each Bolga hat is handwoven by Frafra weavers in Bolgatanga, northern Ghana, from elephant grass grown on the White Volta flood plains. Being handwoven, each one varies slightly in shape and weave.

How do I use the Bolga hat sizing chart?
To find your size, measure around your head where the hat will sit, just above your ears and eyebrows.
Compare this measurement with the chart – if you’re between sizes, choose the larger one for a more comfortable fit.

Do you have other styles of Bolga hats?
Alongside the giant brim, you’ll also find Wide Brim Hats, Narrow Brim Bolga Hats, Hightop Hats, and Fulani Hats, traditional ceremonial hats of the Wodaabe people of West Africa. All are handwoven in Ghana from elephant grass.
