The boater hat shape is one of the quintessential summer hat styles.

Handcrafted in France, this hat is made of 100% natural straw that will protect you from the sun's rays. A unique shape, featuring a crown and flat brims, it brings a retro touch that remains very trendy and appreciated.

A quality vintage headwear that will protect you with lightness and elegance with its band during hot summer days.

Like the Panama hat, it has the significant advantage of being "all-purpose," meaning it can be paired with both casual and more formal outfits. The price of each straw hat is indicated on the product page along with details and characteristics.

Boater hat handmade in France

A hat shape that is both simple and elegant, it's the perfect headwear to protect from the sun during hot summer days. Very popular in the 19th century, it's making a comeback nowadays at ceremonies or during boat rides. This boater is entirely handmade in the traditional way in France, sewn with straw and adorned with a black ribbon. In addition to having a unique fashionable and elegant look, you'll also have good UV protection that has already proven its worth. It's impossible to talk about the shape of the boater without mentioning its main muse Maurice Chevalier, who largely contributed to its prestigious reputation. In the United States, it was Fred Astaire who generally wore boaters with almost every outfit. These two fervent fans made this item a flagship product of their decades.

Some advice on the boater hat

The French boater is traditionally made of straw, with a rather fine weave, which gives it a very rigid structure. Moreover, it's a hat that doesn't sink down like a classic hat because its crown is shallow, even though it fits better than an Olney boater, which is often just placed on top of the head. Finally, this boater model doesn't have an inner comfort band. The head reducer is therefore essential to make it more comfortable and secure it well on the head (not provided with the boater).

The hat is as pictured and as described. It meets my requirements to appear as in the Renoir painting "Luncheon of the Boating Party

Déçu. J'avais commandé le même il y a 7 ans, dont j'avais été très heureux, et celui là n'a pas le même modèle, il est beaucoup plus haut de forme et rigide.

Très bonne qualité mais il faut noter que le chapeau est assez haut mais comme il est sur les photos. Nous auront aimé une coupe plus basse et donc plus élégante mais il convient finalement très bien !

Le canotier est le chapeau d'été type. Etant Marseillais, ce couvre chef est pour moi traditionnel.

Très très bien. Belle fabrication artisanale. J'ai pris du 57 mais je crois que 58 aurait été mieux. Ce sera pour la prochaine fois...
