An Authentic Hat Big Enough for My Large Head
The high price caught me off guard at first, but once I actually received the hat and got to take a look at it, I realized that its price is justified.
Handmade and feels as authentic as can be for a panama hat, I was most pleased that a hat, for once, wasn't too small or constrictive for my otherwise large head. As a matter of fact, the hat is just barely slightly large, which I'm 100% okay with after a lifetime of small hats. It works well not just as an authentic period piece, it can also work as other costumes such as a CIA agent in Cuba if you so choose (as a humorous example).
In short, a high-quality, handmade hat that can accommodate large heads (as long as you order the correct size).

Perfect & Timely delivery
The product and well as the service were flawless. I can’t think of anything that did not meet or exceed expectations. The Boater is first rate quality. I will be back for more items.

Good quality, sizes run small...very small
Good quality
Fast delivery
Order one size up, don't guess, I am a solid L but should have ordered a XL.
Ordered another hat for someone else. Same issue. Quality was great but he was a M and should have bought a L....
