About ASN

The ASN brand is a premier fashion company combining leisure and luxury to create a modern flair with the world’s most timeless accessory, hats.

Founded in Los Angeles by two sisters, Alejandra and Ilsse Nevarez, ASN designs draw inspiration from trendy LA streetwear. Their aesthetic can be described as a combination of modern and classic designs.

Each hat is masterfully hand-tailored and shaped. The intricate yielding, braiding, and molding of the straw can take up to 15 days for the development of the Jipijapa and Panama hats.

For their wool hats they use sustainable, cruelty-free, and 100% virgin wool that is cleaned, scoured and hand dyed by artisans for an impeccable finish.

I purchased the Astoria Straw Boater hat ($115) from Anthropologie. It is a cordobe (or boater style) hat with a black and white hat band. Boater hats typically have a flat crown and large brim.

I ended up removing the hat band so that I can have a fully off-white boater hat for my trip to Chile. It was super easy to remove (only stuck on the hat in two places with glue). Removing the band also made the hat more versatile and match more of my outfits.

Below we’ll go over the pros and cons of ASN hats.

ASN Hats Pros

Offers SOMEWHAT inclusive sizing. Some hat styles are One Size Fits Most (OSFM), which is typically 58 cm, and some styles are offered in sizes ranging from Small (55 cm), Medium (58 cm), and Large (59 cm).
The hats are made with high-quality materials. I would definitely say they are on par with Lack of Color and Gigi Pip hats.
Timeless Designs – Their hat styles are super chic and timeless.
Affordable Price Point – Their hats are more affordable than Lack of Color and Gigi Pip.
100% Vegan – All their hats are made with faux suede, raffia, cotton, or straw.

ASN Hats Cons

Painted hats may flake. This hasn’t happened to me but another reviewer said that her black hat started flaking on her with normal wear and tear.
Elastic band lifts the hat off my head. This is probably the most annoying feature of the hat but I’ll deal with it since I got such a good deal on it. I also plan on removing the elastic band so that it will fit better.
