The Boater Hat Tap to expand
Flat-top confidence since 1870 — Timeless. Weightless. Fearless.
🎩 Boater Hat: From River Regatta to Runway Classic
(1870 – 1930s)
Born on the rivers of England and France, the stiff-brimmed straw hat kept oarsmen cool under the sun. Its flat crown made it easy to stack or stow between races.
Adopted for summer outings, cycling, and seaside trips. Men paired it with striped blazers; women with shirtwaists and long skirts.
A mark of collegiate charm and barbershop harmony. In the U.S., “Straw Hat Day” celebrated its annual debut each May.
The boater crowns everyone from silent-film crowds to jazz-age partygoers. Light, crisp, modern — a uniform for summer modernity.
As felt fedoras took over, the boater lingered in uniforms, gondoliers, and nostalgic fashion — forever linked to early-20th-century elegance.
