Product Insights
The Brixton Embroidered 100% Raffia Western Hat combines a lightweight under-3-oz open weave that keeps the head up to 5°C cooler with an adjustable inner band, warm cream color, and blue embroidery for a soft artisanal look; it is packable without permanent creasing and made from sustainably harvested, biodegradable raffia, but it is not waterproof, requires spot-cleaning, shows dirt easily, and is marketed as a seasonal fashion accessory rather than a durable heirloom, and at 130 CAD, better value is available from competitors under 100 CAD.

Brixton hats criticized as overpriced and inferior to Justin straw
I’ve had a few brixton hats when I started down this hat road, and looking back, they are (at least the ones I bought) very very over priced for what you get. I’m way happier with my $100 Justin straw for the summer seasons.
