Boater faction!
Just wanted to say THANKS for all these ads. This is "original soruce" history at its best. Note, for isntance, that 'boaters' are generally referred to just as 'straw hats' or, if the type is specified, 'sialors'. V. interesting. -
Boater faction!
For a hayloft of straw hats the likes of which was probably not seen since the 1930s, see some images here of the 2022 Grand Flaneur Walk, organised by The Chap. https://thechap.co.uk/2022/05/16/the-second-grand-flaneur-walk/ -
1890 and 1920 Montgomery Ward catalogs
After all these years still fascinated by the fact that nearly all hats are just called "hat", without all the faux precise terminology that began as hats were on the wane. The vanity of small differences indeed. -

Boater faction!
Since people on this forum were so kind about previous pics of our boaters out and about at parties, etc., I am taking the liberty of posting a few more, conscious of the fact that these are nothing compared to the amazing collector's items posted on this thread... This was the second annual... -

Boater faction!
What a great collection of "boater" ads! I think they are very useful from a historical standpoint. I notice that most just refer to them as "straw hats", just as most (nearly all?) pre-war ads for what people nowadays call trilbies and fedoras just call them "hats" or at most "felt hats". -
