Boater Hats – For Many Fashion Conscious People

A boater hat is an officially sanctioned semi-formal winter hat for men, that was popularised at the start of the 20th Century and continued to be popularised well into the 1930s. It has been said that if you want to be taken seriously in your chosen sport, then you better have a boater hat on. Boating hats are made from waterproof materials that are comfortable to wear in all weather conditions. They often have a small amount of brim that covers the eyes, but leaves plenty of room for a windbreak or water to be blows through. Many people like to use their boating hats as fashion accessories by decorating them with motifs, images and patterns that they fancy, and many boater hats these days will also incorporate a small amount of detachable face veil that can be worn to cover the face in bad weather.

The boater hat was never worn very much before as it wasn’t something that was needed by law so it didn’t make much of an impact on society; it was something that people did, not because it was formal, but because boating was a very popular recreational activity. Now though, as boating has become more popular there seems to be a growing interest in owning and wearing one. It has been reported that over 40% of college students own a boater hat and they enjoy it immensely.

So, if you are looking for a new hat that you can proudly display out your back window then you may want to consider getting a boater hat. If you like to travel on the road, it can give you the protection from road rash that you need when traveling. If you are the sort of person who just enjoys sitting in your car or stationary boat a boater hat will also give you that little bit extra of fashion sense as well. There are so many different types, colours, materials and designs to choose from that you are bound to find one that suits you perfectly and that you will enjoy wearing for many years to come. As long as you choose a hat that is waterproof, comfortable, durable and stylish you should have no trouble finding a hat that you will love wearing.
