strawhat

Woven sun cover

A straw hat—a hat woven from straw or similar plant fibers, typically with a wide brim for sun protection.

As one word, strawhat often describes summer theater productions performed by touring companies in resort towns, where audiences and performers alike might wear such hats: the strawhat circuit, strawhat theater.

The term evokes a nostalgic era of American entertainment.
