Our deluxe off-white costume skimmer hat from Candy Apple Costumes is crafted of soft woven Toyo straw. This boater hat has a navy blue and red grosgrain ribbon band for that 1920s costume party or your role in a barbershop quartet. Thanks to the special stretch band inside the hat, this costume topper will fit most adults and older children. Skimmers (boaters) got their name from being popular dressy summer hats to wear while boating or sailing in the early 20th century.
