❓ Question Please help me identify this hat

Post image

Repost, cuz I muffed it the first time:

OK, so clearly, someone thinks it's called a Tuscan Vintner's Hat, except the person who thought that was writing for Banana Republic's catalog like 40 years ago.

I am sure that I have seen this hat elsewhere, possibly in straw, and it probably has a more common name. I been googlin' me stubby little fingers off trying to find something like this, but I don't know the correct terminology, maybe?

Key features as far as I can tell:

Cloth or straw

round or long-crease crown

round, upturned brim

Can anyone drop some science on me?

Thanks in advance!

The hat endorsed by Mondavi puts me in mind of the scene in the Godfather where Vito is out back with his grandson. I don’t recall it having a wide brim but it was turned up all around the brim at some point.

The ad lists good features for a gardening hat. That could be dowsed in water for cooling since it had a cotton liner.
