Straw Cowboy Hats

To pick the perfect fit, check our sizing chart on each product page—straw cowboy hats from NRS like Resistol, Rodeo King, and American Hat Co. are sized in inches or S/M/L/XL depending on the brand. To find your size, use a flexible tape measure above your eyebrows and ears, where the hat will sit. If you’re between sizes, we recommend sizing up for comfort. All our straw hats feature comfortable sweatbands, and if you need extra snugness, hat sizing tape can help you achieve an ideal fit.

Absolutely! NRS offers complimentary custom hand-creasing on any straw cowboy hat in our collection. When you order, just leave a note at checkout requesting your preferred crease style—like Cattleman, Bull Rider, or Open Crown. Our team of experts will shape your hat to your specifications before shipping. Feel free to call or email us if you’d like advice on style options or have special requests.

Great question! Shantung is a premium paper-based straw known for its durability and smooth, classic look—perfect for a dressy event or heavy-use. Jute straw is all-natural and offers a rustic look with a softer feel, ideal for those who want a breathable, lightweight hat. Bangora is a woven synthetic straw, prized for its unique vented designs and easy-going, flexible wear. Each material affects the hat’s look, feel, and longevity, so think about where and how you’ll wear your hat when choosing.

Caring for your NRS straw cowboy hat is simple: keep it dry—moisture can warp the straw. If it gets dusty, use a soft-bristle hat brush or a damp cloth (just slightly damp!) to clean the surface. Store your hat crown-side down on a clean surface or in a hat box to maintain its shape. Avoid excessive heat or prolonged sun exposure when not wearing, as this can dry out and damage the straw. For hats with venting, gently clean around the openings to avoid tearing. With a bit of regular care, your hat will look great for seasons to come!

At NRS, we offer fast shipping on all straw cowboy hats—most orders ship within one business day unless you’ve requested a custom crease, which may add 1–2 days. We pack every hat with care to protect its shape in transit. If you need to return or exchange your hat for another size or style, our hassle-free returns policy lets you send it back within 30 days as long as it’s unworn and in original condition. Full details and instructions are on our Returns page, or you can call our customer service team anytime for help.
