I purchased this at collex several years ago. There's wire in the brim. It can be folded compactly for carrying, but I've lost the original rubber band that was used to keep it together. I've worn it less than 10 times, and there are no noticeable stains or scratches. The actual color is closest to the fourth photo. Please understand that this is a used item before purchasing. - Color: Beige - Design: Wide-brimmed straw hat - Material: Straw Thank you for looking.
