When people search for a Gatsby hat, the straw boater is the shape they usually mean: a flat-topped crown, straight sides and a flat brim, worn at summer parties on the lawn. This one is a classic skimmer shape for men and women, sized for heads from 52 to 60 cm.

How a Straw Boater Hat Differs From a Fedora

A fedora has a soft, pinched crown and a brim you can shape. A boater is the opposite: flat top, straight sides and a flat brim, about 6 cm wide on this hat. That crisp outline reads instantly as summer in the 1920s, from riverside picnics to garden weddings.

Building an Outfit Around the Gatsby Boater Hat

For men: a cream or striped blazer, white trousers or light flannels, a bow tie and two-tone shoes. For women: a drop-waist day dress, a long faux pearl strand and low Mary Janes, with the hat tipped back. It is the centerpiece of a daytime gatsby party outfit.

Boater Hat FAQ

What material is the boater?

It is natural straw, made of vegetable cellulose, which is plant fiber. Keep it dry, as straw can lose its shape when soaked.

Will it fit my head?

It is made for a size range of 52-60 cm. Measure around your head just above the ears to check that you fall within it.

Can women wear a straw boater?

Yes, it is a unisex design. Women of the period wore boaters for summer outings too, often over short hair with a ribbon or flower added.
