classic look--completely traditional--with one significant difference from the standard: the cotton is grown without pesticides or chemicals and is naturally processed after being gathered by hand. We're talking extremely low environmental impact. The Mojave is yet another instance of organic hat material; this time, it's Madagascar raffia (also naturally harvested). Here the hat body is shaped into a gambler style with a three-inch brim and--like The Scala Nueva--trimmed with a slim leather band.

Packing is a breeze with organic raffia hats, which are crushable by nature. Take The Organic Raffia (a hand crocheted summer hat for men), give it a shake, and you're ready to go. Naturally! Raffia lids make great fun-in-the-sun hats too. The Lifeguard has a five-inch brim just designed to protect and it is (in case you're wondering) a hand-crocheted and 100% organic raffia packable beach hat. If your brim requirements aren't quite that extensive, take a look at The Joshua. At 3 1/4 inches, the brim is still generous enough to give shade and it too is an earth-friendly and comfortable hat.

Affordable, organic, good-looking men's hats. What's not to like?
