    Classic Boater

    Size

    To find your perfect hat size, we suggest booking a virtual appointment for a consultation with one of our hatters here.

    The classic boater (or skimmer, cady or can-can, as it is sometimes known) has become synonymous with quintessentially British social events. Crafted from stiff sisal straw to retain its classic boater shape for years to come. 

    The boater is finished with a smart black Petersham ribbon, the hat has a leather inner sweatband so it stays firmly in place.

    • Brim length: 6 cm
    • Crown height: 8 cm
    • Features a leather inner sweatband and a black 5 cm Petersham ribbon

     

    Steam from a household kettle and a hard bristle hat brush or clean pencil rubber will help remove dust and dirt.

    Avoid wearing a straw hat in the rain. If it gets wet, dry using a clean, absorbent cloth or sponge. Straw hats are best stored in a hat box, away from direct sunlight.

    To ensure that you choose the perfect hat size, use our easy measuring-tape technique to get it just right.

    1. USE a soft tape measure.

    2. PLACE it around your head, positioned mid-forehead and just above the ears.

    3. MEASURE in centimetres or inches.

    4. FIND your size on the hat size chart.
