SS25 New Collection Wheat Straw Boater

SS25 New Collection Wheat Straw Boater

The hat body is crafted from ultra-fine wheat straw. The straw must be harvested manually to prevent any damage. Only the uppermost part of the wheat stalks is kept, and the thinnest straw strands with uniform color are carefully selected. These strands are merely 0.3 to 0.4 millimeters in width, making the output scarce and valuable. The incredibly thin straw strands enable the weaving patterns to be even more intricate, and meanwhile, the material is highly pliable, ensuring a comfortable wearing experience.

The Boater Hat originated from the straw hats worn by Venetian boatmen and gained widespread popularity in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Its most distinctive feature is the flat crown and brim, creating a sharp, angular look that exudes a sense of crispness. Traditionally crafted from straw, these hats were commonly seen at sporting events in their early days. Over time, they also became favored as a formal headpiece among fashion - conscious individuals.
