I think this is actually a good translation choice. I honestly have never heard the phrase "summer hat" in my life. Maybe they don't say it in the US?
When I hear "summer hat" I immediately think of a girl with a white straw hat with a bow and in a sun dress. If I had to think of a man wearing a "summer hat," I think I'd think of a straw fedora/trilby.
