The difference
Not all Western hats are made equal
Most straw hats on the market are machine-made from generic fibers. Sandoval hats are handwoven one by one from Sahuayo palm straw — one of the world's rarest natural fibers — by artisans in Michoacán who've dedicated their lives to this craft. You feel the difference the moment you pick it up.
Sahuayo Palm Straw
The world's finest straw
Palm straw hats are the epitome of durability and elegance. This high-quality material ensures the hat retains its shape and beauty, providing a breathable and stylish accessory. Hand-woven by skilled artisans, each hat boasts a unique texture and design.
One Hat. One Lifetime.
Made to age with you
The Sahuayo palm straw gets stronger and more supple with wear. Each Culiacán is handwoven by artisans in México who've dedicated their lives to this craft. No machines. No shortcuts. This isn't a hat you replace — it's a hat that grows with you.
The Silhouette
The cowboy, perfected
The Culiacán carries the unmistakable cowboy silhouette — curved brim, structured crown, and a presence that speaks before you do. Rooted in the vaquero tradition, finished by hand in Michoacán. This is the shape that started it all.
Your Fit
Find your perfect size
Available in Small, Medium, and Large. Each hat features an elastic inner band that gently conforms to your head shape for a secure, comfortable fit. Two complimentary hat size reducers included with every order for fine-tuning.
