We’re delighted to introduce this boater to our range of genuine Panama hats. Our own twist on the classic Boater, it’s a hat made for lazy afternoons on the river, and one that looks just as good at smart occasions as it does at casual ones. Finished with a contrast band and a classic bow detail on the right side, it’s a timeless style with a little added character.

Some call it a Boater, others a Skimmer! Whatever you prefer to call it, we’re sure it will have you standing out from the crowd.

Hand Woven in Ecuador: We only seek to use the finest materials and craftsmanship. That is why each of our genuine Panamas is hand woven by skilled craftspeople in Ecuador, the true home of the Panama hat, before being checked and finished by our team in Bristol, England.

Comfortable Fit: The inside is finished with a soft, sweat-wicking inner band for all-day comfort.

Perfect for Groups: A favourite with rowing teams, barbershop quartets and groups who want a smart, matching look, and equally perfect for a party where you want that unique look that is going to get you noticed.

If you are not sure what your hat size is, please follow these simple instructions to find your size.

Measure your head at the level you would want the hat to sit at when you are wearing it.  This can vary a little according to your personal preference, but normally it would be across the middle of the forehead, pass a thumb’s width above your ears and around the widest part of the back of your head. 

Use a tape measure or a piece of string to find your size in centimetres.

Once you have the measurement in centimetres, this should be the hat size for you.  You may wish to move up or down one size if you prefer a particularly loose or tight fit.
