Product Overview
The Beechfield Straw Fedora is a sophisticated summer essential designed for professionals who require a blend of classic style and practical heat management. Handmade from premium paper straw, this headwear offers a lightweight and breathable alternative to standard caps or felt hats. Its refined unisex styling makes it a versatile choice for diverse workforces, providing a cohesive appearance for outdoor teams, hospitality staff, and corporate event representatives. The inclusion of a removable grosgrain band and a tear-away label underscores its design as a garment specifically engineered for rebranding and bespoke customisation.

Design & Performance
Engineered for performance in high temperatures, the 100% paper straw body of this fedora allows for maximum airflow. This natural-looking weave prevents heat build-up, ensuring the wearer remains cool even during outdoor service or sunny site visits. The internal sweatband, crafted from 100% polyester, provides a soft, non-abrasive interface that manages perspiration effectively. Despite its lightweight feel, the handmade weave is robust enough to maintain its iconic fedora shape through daily wear, providing a consistent professional image for your brand.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Beechfield Straw Fedora is an excellent candidate for both print and embroidery. The removable grosgrain band is a critical feature for customisation; it allows our expert team to apply your logo with greater precision than is possible on a fixed surface. For a premium, traditional look, we recommend embroidery, which offers a textured, high-quality finish that reflects the handmade nature of the hat. For larger, more vibrant logos or event-specific designs, print provides a sharp and visible alternative. Since 1976, MyWorkwear has been refining these techniques at our Telford facility, ensuring that your branding is applied with technical expertise and care.
Use Cases
This fedora is particularly suited for the hospitality sector, including front-of-house staff at summer venues, terrace bars, and outdoor restaurants. It is also a popular choice for corporate promotional events, golf days, and luxury travel brands. Beyond hospitality, it offers tradespeople a professional alternative to the standard baseball cap when working in exposed, sunny conditions where sun protection and breathability are paramount.
Why MyWorkwear
With a heritage stretching back to 1976, MyWorkwear is a leading authority in technical garment decoration. We operate out of our specialist facility in Telford, where we combine decades of experience with modern customisation technology. We understand the nuances of different fabrics—from heavy-duty industrial wear to delicate handmade straw—ensuring that every item we produce meets our rigorous standards for quality and durability.
Practical Advice
To ensure a professional appearance, it is vital to select the correct size. We offer this hat in S/M and L/XL to accommodate different head circumferences. For teams, we recommend a mix of both sizes. When wearing the fedora, it should sit comfortably above the ears without being overly tight; the breathable nature of the straw will provide a comfortable fit even during long shifts.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and the aesthetic appeal of your Beechfield Fedora, it is essential to follow professional care guidelines. Proper maintenance ensures the straw remains supple and the branding remains clear.
This product must be sponge cleaned only. You should never submerge the hat in water or place it in a washing machine, as the paper straw will absorb moisture, leading to a loss of shape and potential degradation of the handmade weave. Use a lightly dampened sponge to spot-clean any marks on the straw or the internal sweatband.
Avoid the use of bleach or aggressive detergents, which can cause discolouration of the straw and damage the custom embroidery or print. Allow the hat to dry naturally in a shaded area; direct heat from radiators or intense sunlight during the drying process can cause the fibres to become brittle and crack.
