This is a sun hat from my room shop. The wide brim completely covers the back of the neck, providing protection from sunburn, and I think you'll also enjoy its elegant atmosphere. Outer fabric, brim lining: 55% linen, 45% cotton Head lining: 80% polyester, 20% cotton The color is not pure black, but rather a charcoal gray, or a similar color. I apologize that I can't describe it better. It's lightweight and can be easily folded and put into a bag. When shipping, I will fold it compactly. It is in good condition, but it is a used item, so please understand this before purchasing.
