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.

I have, but only because my sisters high-school was ~incredibly~ old fashioned and they only got rid of the compulsory school hats the year she started. Actually that's probably why I got so fixated on 'high school'. It didn't occur to me that universities once had uniforms!
I'm guessing it's something along the line of a boater with a rounded head to it.

The school summer hats are seldom made of straw here. They are made of lighter materials with more breathability than the winter hats. |
Haha ok, thank you. Let me work on it, and i'll come back with some more. I seem to be having an easier time with the next bit.
I'm not surprised; real straw hats are so expensive. I recently bought a very cheap panama and even that wasn't exactly chump change. This particular summer hat is definitely made of straw though. There's a bit at the end which reads 麦藁のべりべりと裂ける音が~
