Floppy Hat FAQs
Q1: Are these floppy hats sold with a hat band?
Answer:
Yes. Floppy hats are meant to be worn with a hat band, which completes the look and makes it your own.
You can choose from ready-to-wear bands or select one that fits your style and how you plan to wear your hat.
Q2: Can I choose a different hat band style?
Answer:
Absolutely. There are two band styles available — a fedora-style band for a clean, tailored look with no bow, and a floppy-style band that can be tied in a bow, styled with flowing ties, or wrapped for a more artistic look.
You can choose from ready-to-wear bands or request something custom if you’re looking for a specific color, pattern, or feel.
3: Why are the bands designed this way instead of being permanently attached?
Answer:
Because the look matters. A hat band isn’t just an accessory — it’s what gives the hat its personality. By not permanently fixing the band to the hat, you’re free to create the look that feels right to you rather than being locked into someone else’s idea of “finished.”
The band stays securely attached to the hat while you wear it, so you don’t have to worry about it slipping off when you’re out and about. And if you ever want a different look, the same hat can be styled in a new way simply by choosing a different band.
Q4: How do these floppy hats fit?
Answer:
Most floppy hats are considered one-size-fits-most, and many include an adjustable drawstring inside the band to help fine-tune the fit.
Because styles come from different makers, there can be slight variations in overall size—from more petite fits to roomier ones. Specific sizing details—including approximate circumference and whether an adjuster is included—are noted on each individual product page.
If you’re looking for more consistent sizing or greater sun coverage, you may also want to explore our boonie hats for full coverage or bucket hats for a more moderate option.
If you’re looking for an exact, made-to-measure fit, a cloth hat would be a better option—and we’re happy to help you explore those at Boonie Hats and Bucket Hats.

Q5: What if I’m not sure which band style to choose?
Answer:
Think about the look you’re drawn to:
- Prefer a clean, tailored look with no bow? A fedora-style band is a great choice.
- Love a bow or flowing ties? A floppy-style band gives you a softer, more expressive look.
- Want color and movement without a bow? A floppy-style band can also be wrapped and tucked for a more artistic finish.
