Product Description

Circumference = 24 1/4"
Brim = 5"

Folds down to 6" diameter!

And now, for a really great idea!

Take it out of it's pouch and 'Pop', it springs open into a 18" sun hat. Then with a simple twist it becomes a 6" disk that goes back into its matching pouch. The bag and hat are 100% cotton so they can be painted, printed & marbled. Made in China.

These come only in WHITE!
Also available in silk.

Imagine the possibilities:
  • For promotions
  • For taking on vacations
  • For keeping in your purse
  • Leave one in the car
  • For sale at outdoor concerts, sports events, beaches, wherever there's sun!

Please note:
Collapsible rim is made of metal. Metal can rust if exposed to water for too long. Salt (as in dyebaths) can make it much worse, as can acids or alkali - like Soda Ash that is used with Dharma's fiber reactive Procion Dye, what you would normally use with cotton. Safer to paint these with thin flowable paints like Setasilk or Dynaflow, which you iron to set. These paints are so thin, you can barely tell them from dye. They are such popular hats, they are worth the effort!

Made in: CHINA (CN)

I wish that the metal rim were plastic or something that does not rust.

I haven't had a chance to paint this yet but it's really fun and pretty easy to fold and unfold. Plenty of brim to keep the sun off!

The metal band does rust when tie dyeing so I gave this a 4. The hats deserve a 5 with platic instead of wire used or a coating on the wire to stop the rusting. You can always add cord to trim over the rust on the edge. As far as dying do it in the case works great. Try to keep the water time down. Soak, dye and Pop as soon as possible to let the dye finish setting this helps the rust. Can't keep these in stock thanks Dharma for a great item.

It fits a bit tighter than I'm comfortable wearing. (Okay, so maybe I do have a swolen head --it is STILL EMPTY!)

This was a repeat for me. I find these useful for travel and ordinary sun protection.

Pretty fun to fold and pop, handy and fits well enough. After a while it does rust so don't expect it to last forever.
