Comfortable fit with ear flaps. This rain hat reminds you of the Morton Salt Man. Review: Great Buy!!! And still happy after all these years ... - Great Buy!!! This item is robust and well made. It is far heavier (thicker and solid) than I expected for under $10 delivered. It looks goofy on me but I don't care about that - I bought it to keep rain off my head and it works very well. The Dutch Harbor Sou'Wester's rain protection would be better than a sombrero from Seattle that I bought previously. The Sou'Wester unusually shaped brim not only will shed water further away from your face than the Sombrero, this Sou'Wester also has ear flaps that will prevent side blowing rain from hitting your ears and it ties down from the ear flaps giving a very secure feeling. The lining is very comfy too. Improvements I would like to see is an improved tie down system: The current configuration uses somewhat wimpy flat cotton strips about 9" long (see photo) that are to be tied under your chin in order to hold the hat in place during a wind. I would like to see something like round shoelace material plus the addition of a push button/spring loaded locking mechanism instead of having to tie a knot under your chin (in the rain) or try to untie a wet knot later. I added one of the spring loaded push button devices which can be seen in the picture I uploaded but I have not yet replaced the cotton tie strips for para-cord. Friends, for less than 10 bucks you cannot go wrong. I ordered a medium and it was a bit snug but considering I could be using this in stormy/windy conditions it makes sense to design these to be a bit snug. I recommend this to anyone interested in a solid rain hat that uses a design intended for function not necessarily looks. Update: It is now June of 2024 and I still have this fabulous piece of rain gear. I just noticed the update I promised was never posted so here it is. I was in a recent rain storm and pelted with what Forrest Gump calls fat rain - a lot of it. As it has in the past the rain hat's historic design kept my head and neck dry. What a fabulous Product! Added a 5th star - still happy after all these years !!! Review: Excellent Rain Protection; Runs Big, Which Can Be Plus - Excellent rain protection. This rain hat runs big. I ordered medium because the size always works for me, but "medium" for this hat is like a normal "large". My first thought was to send it back, but because I am in the Dominican Republic, it would cost to much to exchange it for a smaller size. But now I am glad I couldn't. The size, I came to realize, has advantages. During the cold months, it fits nicely over a stocking cap or the hood of a sweatshirt, and in good weather I can easily keep it from covering my eyes by wearing a reversed (bill in back) baseball cap underneath it. In the Caribbean where I live there is no chance that I will want to wear a stocking cap or hooded sweatshirt, but there is in rainy, cold Alaska where I plan to go in May on a cruise, and the primary reason I bought the hat in the first place. The tail of the hat extends well beyond your neck, so no cold water will run down inside your collar. The front extends out enough to keep the rain water from running off the hat and onto your face. The material is rubber or rubberized, there is a soft cotton liner, and chin straps. If there is no wind, you can put the straps inside the hat so they don't hang lose. It is not a designer rain hat, but it gives excellent protection. I recommend this well made rain hat. Before ordering, decide whether you would like to be able, at least part of the time, wear something underneath the hat, such as a stocking cap or the hood of a sweatshirt. If so, order your normal size hat and what you get will be large enough to wear something underneath. But if you are sure that you will never want to wear anything under the rain hat, then order one size smaller than you normally take. ## Features - Extra wide brim ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B009Q2BHOG | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Apparel Closure Type | Drawstring | | Apparel Fabric Stretch | No Stretch | | Apparel Fabric Weight Class | Medium Weight | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,166,111 in Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry ( See Top 100 in Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry ) #1,043 in Men's Cowboy Hats #846,059 in Women's Fashion | | Brand Name | Dutch Harbor Gear | | Care instructions | Machine Wash | | Closure type | Drawstring | | Color | Yellow | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 418 Reviews | | Fabric Type | 100% Polyvinyl Chloride, 100% Polyester Backing | | Fabric type | 100% Polyvinyl Chloride, 100% Polyester Backing | | Fit Type | medium-regular | | Fit to Size Sentiment | Good | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00042828200354 | | Hat Form Type | Bucket Hat | | Is Waterproof | true | | Item Weight | 1.2 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Dutch Harbor Gear | | Manufacturer Part Number | HD229 | | Material Type | Plastic | | Number of Items | 1 | | Occasion Type | Bachelorette Party, Easter, Mother's Day | | Origin | Imported | | Pattern | Solid | | Pattern Style | Solid | | Product Care Instructions | Machine Wash | | Recommended Uses For Product | outdoor | | Seasons | Spring/Summer | | Sport Type | Hunting | | Style Name | Hat | | Style Number | HD229 | | Sun Protection | 3E+1 Sun Protection Factor (SPF) | | UPC | 042828200354 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Water Resistance Level | Waterproof | | character | sports | ## Images ![Men's Sou'Wester Hat - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51B1CUCA9WL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can anyone give me the measurements of a large or medium? the inside circumference for fit (but not the whole wide brim) - thanks :)** A: Medium - ear to ear (stretched) is 9 inches and forehead to back is a little over 10 inches (stretched). My head circumference is 21.5 inches and the Medium fits me well. The ear flaps have a nice thick tie that will keep it secure. The hat is fabulous. Great quality. **Q: how do i figure out how big each size is?** A: I have a 7 1/8 size head and I got a medium. It fits fairly well, perhaps slightly large, but I bought it to wear over a beanie, so the perfect size for that. However, I hat the short ties on the hat. Too short to even tie a bow, so until I lengthen it, I can't even wear it if any wind is blowing. Very frustrating. **Q: Does this come with a chin strap?** A: Yes. It comes with two straps that you can tie under the chin. **Q: How 'green' is the green hat? The pictures looks more gray.** A: It is a dark green. if you select a size medium and click the link for used and new I have one for sale with pictures. I think my pics are a little more accurate. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Buy!!! And still happy after all these years ... *by E***E on May 7, 2015* Great Buy!!!

The only problem is the two cotton chin straps...very difficult to tie a bow under your chin with cold wet fingers. I solved the problem by purchasing a spring loaded two hole cord lock. Slides up and down great now with little effort and keeps the hat on. If the manufacturer would make this small .15 cent addition they would have a great product instead of a good product. These hats run large. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/2040420-mens-souwester-hat](https://www.desertcart.us/products/2040420-mens-souwester-hat) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-06-18*
