Introduction

This is a classic boater hat, traditionally associated with summer dress and outdoor events. Crafted from tightly woven straw, this example bears the mark of Christy’s London, a renowned British hatmaker. The hat features a flat crown and a flat brim, finished with a grosgrain ribbon band. Boater hats were particularly popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, often worn with striped blazers and as part of boating attire, hence the name.

Condition

This boater hat shows signs of age and wear consistent with its vintage nature. The straw exhibits some fading and minor imperfections, adding to its character. While the ribbon band is present, it shows some wear and may have minor fraying. This hat would be of interest to collectors of vintage menswear, hat enthusiasts, or those seeking a unique accessory with a touch of historical charm.
