Kassena Fedora Hat UPF50+

£64.95

In stock

SKU: EH030-Kassena

A packable fedora sun hat should travel as easily as you do. The Kassena Fedora blends classic structure with thoughtful design.  Its a hat that works just as well for everyday summer wear as it does for holidays and outdoor events.

The silhouette is unmistakably fedora. A softly structured crown sits above a generous brim that offers shade while maintaining a refined shape. The warm taupe tone keeps the look natural and versatile, pairing easily with linen, cotton and relaxed summer layers.

What truly sets this packable fedora sun hat apart is the woven band around the crown. The distinctive zig-zag pattern takes inspiration from the hand-painted geometric designs found on the traditional homes of the Kassena people in West Africa. The earthy tones add depth and texture while keeping the overall look understated.

The unisex hat is made from innovative Flexibraid, a lightweight material designed for travel and everyday practicality. You can pack the hat flat in your suitcase or bag, then reshape it when you arrive. It holds its structure, resists crushing and remains colourfast even after regular wear.  This makes the Kassena an ideal companion for summer travel, garden gatherings, coastal walks and long days outdoors.

With UPF50+ certified sun protection, the finely woven construction helps shield your face from strong sunlight while remaining breathable and comfortable.

Each Kassena hat is produced in South Africa, where small variations in colour and texture reflect the individual character of the piece.  These subtle differences make every hat slightly unique.  The result is a packable fedora sun hat that combines cultural inspiration and practical summer comfort.

How to Measure Your Head for the Correct Hat Size

To measure your head for the correct hat size, place a flexible measuring tape or piece of string around your head. Position it about 1 cm above your ears and across the middle of your forehead. Keep the tape level all the way around and snug, but not tight.  If you use string, lay it flat and measure the length in centimetres. This gives you your head measurement and helps you find the right hat size.

Finding Your Hat Size

Once you know your head measurement, match it to the closest hat size in our range. If your measurement falls between two sizes, choose the larger size. This ensures a comfortable fit and makes the hat easier to wear all day.

Fine-Tune the Fit with Internal Size Adjustment

Our hats include an internal drawstring or Comfy-Fit Clip elastic band. This allows you to adjust the fit by up to 1.5 cm. You can fine-tune the size for comfort without changing the shape or structure of the hat.
