In DLCs, the Straw Hat does not require a Science Machine to prototype. It provides small protection from Wetness and 60 points of protection from Overheating, and loses Durability when worn. The Sewing Kit repairs 100% of its durability.

The simple combination of using the Straw Hat and the Umbrella is enough to prevent the player from getting wet during rain, being an easy and accessible way out for the Wetness problem as the Straw Hat has a low cost based solely on Cut Grass.

In the Reign of Giants DLC, the Straw Hat is also one of the ingredients required to craft a Rain Hat.

In the Shipwrecked DLC, it is one of the ingredients required to craft the Snakeskin Hat, the Captain Hat and the Dumbrella.

In the Hamlet DLC, Straw Hats can be bought for 3 Oincs at The Sow's Ear Hat Shop in the Pig City.
