The Coolest Boat Hat E…V..E…R!

Antique 1910s Nautical Yachting Boat Captain Cap possible Size 7-1/4 With Union Label.

This could become the new hat for 2021 WoodyBoaters. Its cot the softness of a modern hat, with looking like a costume prop, and yet retains the look of classic headgear. I LOVE IT! Not sure $95 worth love it. BUT okay, like it enough to maybe go to dinner a couple times with. maybe a show. But take home to mom love?  maybe.. Okay where was I.. Oh ya hats. This hat.

The African Queen Hat? Note there is a difference though.

Bogarts hat does not have the black band. Still is cool and could still work either way. The small strap is the key to the look for sure.

A crusher, baseball, captians hat all in one

I love the texture of the cloth, the shape, hell, even the logo on the tag is perfection. With this you can look like a captain without looking like a dork. Sorry, time is not kind on fashion, and if the herd is wearing it it makes it normal.. But this does both.

It’s 7 1/4 and I am a 7 5/8 so all I could do it look at it in pain.

THE LOGO – The start of the Handshake cliche art

PERFECT

The texture of the cloth is the secret to its look.

I AM ON IT! I am taking these photos and going to try and source it. See if it can be built for a reasonable price.

    Bogie’s hair was thinning around the time of this movie and a hat as us aging males know, can cover some of the slings and arrows time throws at us.

    If that hat could talk.

    I feel your pain, I’m a 7 5/8 also. Finding a hat, any hat that does not look ridiculous on me is not easy. My boat is from the 1920’s so I tried on the paper boy hat (see Photo).
    It was so big it looked like a garbage can lid!

    I’m 7 5/8 as well. I have always figured that more brains require a bigger storage compartment. Matt if you find a hat source, please order a whole bunch of 7 5/8. It sounds like we have some demand.
