The boater hat is a semi-formal top hat that was originally worn on a boat, hence the name. Also known as a boater or flat straw hat, boater hat is on the same level as bowler hats and Humboldt hats. The boater top hat was very popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and the woman we know as Coco Chanel loved the boater hat (flat straw hat). Historically, the boater top hat has been used as school uniform top hat in many countries. In countries such as the United Kingdom and Australia, the boater hat is still part of the school uniform .
The boater top hat is usually made of strong straw, characterized by a round, flat top, and often decorated with ribbon. This skimmer hat is not malleable, so you need to pay attention to the internal width when purchasing to ensure comfortable. In the early days, the boater hat was only summer style, and now boater top hat is changed into wool material, and there is a boater top hat that can be matched in winter.
