Mombasa – even the word sounds exotic and faintly dangerous. A hundred years ago, that Kenyan port was the jumping-off point for an East African safari, and a traveler wanted a rugged hat: shade against a punishing sun by day, and something rakish by firelight after dark. The Mombasa SE answers both. It carries a classic center-dent crown in warm cocoa straw, looks just as good on a woman as a man, and its broad brim delivers genuine coverage – while the Safari color only deepens with wear.
