You’ll be poised and perfectly groomed for nearly every fair-weather whimsy with our Straw Boater parked atop your head. A classic hat to pair with tennis togs or to sport at a seashore shindig, this boater is crisp, clean and totally cool!

Popular throughout the country from approximately 1880 – 1920, the boater is an icon of refined, recreational style for both men and women. Often the boater is referred to as a skimmer or sailor’s straw hat. This particular boater is trimmed with a dandy grosgrain ribbon of navy and red folded into a bow.

This classic boater is made of stiffened braided Laichow straw, features a 2 inch brim and flat-top crown, measuring approx. 3 ˝ inches tall. Imported. Available in sizes M - XL.

Historical Boater
This straw boater is perfect for a museum display accompanying Mark Twain's book Life on the Mississippi. At the Mark Twain Birthplace State Historic Site in Florida, Missouri, we do a rotating display of his first editions to protect them from light and wear. Mark Twain wore a straw boater similar to this one when he worked as a cub pilot (learning the ropes) on steamboats on the Mississippi River.

Snappy hat!
The beauty replaced a similar hat that belonged to my late father-in-law. It arrived on time and well-packed. The hat appears to be made well and should give me good service.

Amazing product for the price! I wore to a white party on a yacht and I mean I shut it down. The hat looked so amazing! The quality is top notch for the money. Very stiff, and sturdy. I would definitely buy another. Everybody was asking where I got it from, I really didn't want to spill the beans, but I told everyone! Great product! great Price! super Fast Shipping!
