A flange just means that the brim is slightly upturned. Mel was a bestselling style the last few seasons and we have brought it back in two colors, periwinkle and camel. The periwinkle is trimmed with distressed cotton rope woven through with recycled sari silk and finished with delicate feathers and a snakeskin piping patch on the right. The camel features a similar trim but the rope is replaced with a vintage yarn. This hat is truly unique for the discerning hat wearer looking for something special. Perfect for all the music festivals. Handmade in NYC. Hat comes with an adjustable sweatband. Crown Height: 4" Brim width: 3.25" 100% Panama Straw
