This timeless boater features a beautifully woven fine straw body accented by a striking red grosgrain band with navy blue stripes, a bold yet refined color combination that perfectly captures the fashionable spirit of the Roaring Twenties. The structured, flat-crowned silhouette was a staple accessory for gentlemen during summer outings, boating, garden parties, and formal leisurewear of the era.
