HISTORY: Boater hats, or straw hats, are timeless sunny-day favorites that first became all the rage in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Known for their flat brims and crowns made from stiff straw, these hats often feature a cheeky ribbon trim. Originally catchy for boating adventures, they quickly sailed into the world of fashion for both guys and gals. Perfect for garden parties, regattas, or any outdoor fun, they bring a dash of classic charm wherever you go.
