Great hat for classic Kentucky Derby outfit!

By Brian from Lancaster, NY | May 17, 2022

Great product, fast shipping. Great hat for classic Kentucky Derby outfit!

Great Hat

By Tom from Homewood, AL | September 28, 2021

I am a musician and we do 1920s music and the hat added to
the production. I enjoy the hat!

Wonderful Quality, Perfect Fit.

By Daniel from Ann Arbor, MI | September 15, 2020

It's a beautiful hat and the perfect choice for summer wear.

Great hat, great price

By Jim from Trabuco Canyon, CA | July 13, 2020

People stop me often and ask me where I got my hat, I gladly tell them. It is a cool hat for these warm days.

Great product

By Joe from Saratoga Springs, NY | June 17, 2020

Fit great. Easy transaction.

Perfect

By Robert from Beverly Hills, CA | June 21, 2019

I wore the hat to a polo match. Got great reviews.

Perfect skimmer for driving old cars.

By Maryann from Clarkston, MI | August 29, 2018

Great quality

By Thomas from Port Townsend, WA | August 8, 2018

I have been wearing and traveling with this hat for two weeks now and it is holding up very well. I get a lot of compliments on the look of it and feel that will continue to look as good as it does for a long time.

I am buying the version with the black grosgrain ribbon.

By Jon from Saint Helens, OR | June 27, 2018

I am having a difficult time deciding which hat to wear to the Plaza De Rotos Monumental in Tijuana on August 12th. Will it be this hat, or my Stetson Retro Panama. It is a hard choice! Both are great hats,but the Panama is traditional for the bullring.

The Wheat Straw Boater has a certain style that the Panama doesn't. Both are great for outdoor events.

You can't go wrong with this hat.

Skimmer Hat

By David from Hong Kong, | June 14, 2018

I am a repeat customer. Village Hat Shop's service and quality is good and trustworthy, I will definitely be back for more.

Didn’t fit

By Eric from Williamsburg , VA | May 9, 2018

Bought to replace one I already have. Old hat is XL fits perfect. Ordered XL again and it is way to big. Returned and will receive Large in return. Other than that a fine hat for only $40.

Love it

By Walter from Columbus, OH | April 5, 2018

Hat was exactly as described. Well made. Very pleased with quality, price, online ordering process & delivery. Thank you

Pink Gins?

By Bill from White Rock , BC | January 12, 2018

Fits large but manageable, lighter than traditional boater. Can't wait for the regatta season, ta!

Floppy brim - beware!

By Patrick from Bakersfield, CA | November 29, 2017

The brim is soft and extremely floppy, so if you want to use it for, say, a barbershop quartet where you might be expected to tip your hat, look elsewhere. Of course, the version that is capable of this is over $100.00 more. I would return it but I don't have the packing box it came in.

Nice Hat at a Good Price

By Maralyn from Ludington, MI | August 29, 2017

My brother was shopping for a replacement hat for his current hat. We found this site and the hat was perfect and at a nice price. The hat came in good time and it was just as pictured on the site. We'll be using the Village Hat Shop again.

I like Village Hats

By Nick from Bronx, NY | July 25, 2017

Bought specifically for street accordion performance in retro style.

Great Topper

By Mary from NYC, NY | June 16, 2017

My husband wore this for a Great Gatsby party. Perfect. A friend liked it so much he asked me to text him the link for it.

Fabulous!

I like

By Obi from NYC, NY | September 21, 2016

Very nice hat for every occasion. My wife likes it when I wear them. Great product for great price...

Fine hat

By Robert from Kansas City, MO | July 28, 2016

Excellent quality hat, looks stylish, fits great! I bought it for a costume piece originally, but I wanted one that I would continue to wear after the play was over. Someone recommended this hat, and I'm darn glad they did!

New Favorite Hat

By Jami from Pueblo West, CO | July 2, 2016

Bought this Skimmer for my husband. He loves it! One of the features he is fond of is the sweat band inside the hat. Nice quality summer style, cool and functional.

Another well made hat

By Trudi from Yuma, AZ | June 18, 2016

although this had is a little flimsy, I thought it would be firmer. I am going to use it in my re enacting. It is going to look so sharp with my 1900 outfit.

Sharp.

By Austin from Fair Lawn, NJ | May 20, 2016

Excellent quality. Fits just as expected. The perfect accessory for a gent on Derby Day.

Very Good, nice hat

By Pavel from Thornwood, NY | May 10, 2016

Excellent !

Excellent all around!

By John from Houston, TX | April 30, 2016

The hats shipped timely, arrived timely, arrived in perfect condition, and were much better quality than I could have imagined!

Great Skimmer

By Steven from Mentor, OH | March 8, 2016

A nice throwback hat for the price. Good looking and it fits well.

Loved the workmanship and quality of materials!

By Annemarie from Mattapoisett, MA | February 29, 2016

I purchased these skimmers for actors dancing in a high school play. The boys were very impressed that they were to use "real" boater hats. They looked handsome and their performance showed it. That said, this is NOT a cheap costume piece. The hat is beautifully made of the finest straw. The stitching is well done, the band is attached well, the colors are a beautiful "preppie" navy blue & maroon. Any guy would be pleased to sport this hat!

Wonderful hat!

By Colin from Dallas, TX | February 24, 2016

Great hat that fits perfectly. I wear a larger hat size and it's nice to be able to order one that fits. Well made and perfect for a Jazz Age Sunday event that I am attending.

Sweet skimmer

By Joseph from Randolph, MA | February 2, 2016

Well made and attractive this hat completes my wardrobe for 1920 roll playing. Many have commented on it favorably.

This hat is great!

By Margaret from St. Francisville, LA | October 9, 2015

I bought this hat for my B-I-L; he is an old car buff who will wear the boater when he's driving his Model A. The sizing is true, the hat looks fantastic, The Village Hat Shop was great about letting me know order status and shipping information, and the hat arrived very promptly. I would definitely order from The Village Hat Shop again!

My son LOVED it!!

By ChereÃ© from Baton Rouge, LA | September 29, 2015

What a great authentic straw skimmer! My teenage son loved it! It is the perfect look for Anything Goes play and his Billy Crocker character! The perfect touch! Great quality!

Straw Hat

By Denny from Gilroy, CA | September 16, 2015

First this is a well made hat, and certainly worth the money, also... the service was impeccable!

However, I wanted to buy a hat like the ones that were worn in the movie "The Music Man". They were a lot more shallow, and way, way stiffer than this hat. This hat is what the gondola captains would wear in Venice, or at the Venetian Hotel in Vegas... but it is NOT the hat from the 1920's. I take full responsibility for buying the 'wrong' style hat. I love it and will add it to my hat collection, but will still be searching for a "Music Man" style straw hat in the future.
I give the hat's quality, and this company's service 5-stars.

Perfect for summer

By John from Huber Heights, OH | July 25, 2015

A great buy for summer. Very good quality, a perfect fit, and plenty of compliments.

Great summer hat.

By Claudia from Twin Falls, ID | July 21, 2015

My husband needed a summer hat. He enjoys a quality hat and this is it. Great Boater hat. Lots of talk.

Striped Band Skimmer

By Andrew from Manhasset, NY | June 30, 2015

I was very impressed with the style and quality of this hat for the price. Just what I wanted without breaking the bank. Thanks Village Hat Shop!

Genuine

By KC from Polson, MT | June 25, 2015

This hat far exceeded my expectations. While $40 might seem like a lot to pay for a straw hat, you have to remember you might have to pay $25 for a cheap Chinese piece of junk. Made of real wheat straw. Very classy. I will recommend this hat to the rest of the guys in my band.

Fast service

By Elise from Redlands, CA | June 23, 2015

received my hat the next day after I ordered it! Exactly as described and a great deal! I will definitely shop here again.

Great Hat.

By Paul from New York, NY | June 15, 2015

Let's keep this simple, I usually don't do these reviews of products, but I was totally pleased with this hat.
- Great Fit and true to size.
- The hat is much darker than the image on the site. More like a wine red/burgundy.
- Light and simple perfect for the summer.
- Delivered on time and fast.

Excellent hat, packaging could be better

By BobbG from La Porte, TX | June 1, 2015

This is a great hat, excellent quality for price. Looks fantastic, now I need to start up a Barbershop or Dixieland band! The only suggestion I have it for sturdier shipping packaging, it arrived as though someone had kicked in the side, luckily hat was not damaged but a stiffer hat may have not faired as well!!!

Fun hat

By Bill from Nampa, ID | May 22, 2015

I bought this as a summer substitute for my leather top hat, I had to remove the colorful hat band because I kept attracting guys who wanted to sing harmony. I replaced it with a single leather band which is also quite stylish. Fit and finish were great, I'm enjoying this hat a lot and would order it again. Bill

Perfect Hat

By Tim from Bay Village, OH | May 18, 2015

Absolutely wonderful! Great fit, well made! Just what I wanted!

Looks sharp!

By Jim from Macon, GA | May 12, 2015

Shipping was very fast and the hat looks great. Got lots of compliments on the look of the hat, and it seems to be high quality.

Super Cool Lid!

By Emm Cee from Rural, PA | May 11, 2015

Always wanted a boater for summer wear and finally decided to get one after my straw fedora turned into a hay bale.

I am very pleased with the Striped Band Skimmer: it fits perfectly, is of high quality, and the band is nicer than it appears in the photos.

I expect to get years of service from this classy, classic lid (providing no one sits on it or steals it) and would buy another one in a heart beat!

Great service & product

By Bill McKeeth from Nampa, ID | May 10, 2015

Prompt service arrived in Nampa ID 2nd Day, Great fit and quality product. This is my third order with consistent service and quality, Thanks Village Hat Company, Bill McKeeth

Skimmer

By Ted from Tampa, FL | April 15, 2015

Quality product. Fitting guide gave perfect fit.

Super cute hat

By Kelly from Chicago, IL | March 30, 2015

I'm looking forward to wearing this hat as soon as the weather warms up and is suitable. It's a great looking hat, is well made and fits me perfectly. I'm very happy with my purchase.

Great hat, but...

By Joel from Coralville, IA | November 25, 2014

This is a very sweet hat. Perfect for our 20's themed engagement photos. The only issue is that I was expecting a navy blue and red stripe, it was more of a navy blue and maroon colored stripe. Either way, great hat!

..simply a great hat for the election season...

By Kevin from East Brunswick, NJ | November 6, 2014

I love my new hat.

Great Hat

By Craig from Tampa, FL | September 5, 2014

First of all it arrived in just 2 days from Calif to Fl. for only $2 shipping. And was very well packed. I wear a 7 7/8 so the Med fit very well. I own several hats for both summer and winter and always wanted a straw boater. Came as it looks in picture on web site except mine came with a feather added. Thanks Village Hat Shop for the nice touch. I get complements every time I wear it, some say It's their new fav. hat to see me in. If you want a "boater" and don't want to spend a lot of money this is the one to get.

Great Buy

By Perry from Tuskegee, AL | August 27, 2014

The hat was more than what I expected. Beyond pleased and will be making more purchases in the near future.

Jaxon Hat

By Donna from Riner, VA | August 4, 2014

We love the straw boater we bought from Jaxon Hats. It was well-packaged and arrived in excellent condition within several days of ordering. My husband was happy with the quality of the hat, the price, and it was appropriately sized.

Classic Hat

By Brian from Florence, MA | July 18, 2014

Great hat! Nice fit and very stylish. Came in the mail faster than expected.

My first 'skimmer' hat

By Ron from Delray Beach, FL | July 14, 2014

Arrived on time, does not look like picture, much darker, brim is flimsy and smaller than expected, crown is much taller, color is much darker. Nevertheless, I will wear it and I will buy from VHS again.

Great hat!

By Michelle from Itasca, IL | July 2, 2014

I've been looking for a flat crown/brim hat, like a gondolier hat. I saw this one and thought for the price, why not try it. I really like it - its comfortable and gave me enough sun coverage. I got a lot of compliments too.

Great Father's Day Gift!

By Lindsay from Toledo, OH | June 27, 2014

I bought my dad this hat for Father's Day and he loved it! It does run large, as the description says. I was worried about ordering my dad a small since he is usually a medium, but it fit great! He even wore it in a few pictures at my wedding.

Great Hat

By John from Lynnwood, WA | June 24, 2014

Got this band skimmer for heritage day at church. It looks great and is very comfortable to wear. The large seems to be true to size. Great service too - the hat arrived with regular shipping in just two days.

Great Looking Hat

By Bonnie from Indiana, PA | April 22, 2014

I bought this hat as a gift for my husband. It fit perfectly, looked great and he loved it. I would not hesitate to order from this company again. Thank you too for Free shipping.

Jaxon Striped Band Skimmer

By D.A.Mays from Plainfield, IL | April 30, 2013

Great Product..... I Love it.

Very Happy

By Paul N Shafit from , | July 28, 2012

The skimmer is just beautiful. I wore it to a business event and not only did I make the impression I wanted to, but I felt like a million bucks too.

GREAT HAT!!

By Anonymous from , | July 16, 2012

REALLY like this hat--have I said that before?!! ;)CHEERS!

Great Hat

By Chuckie from , | July 13, 2012

REALLY liked the hat, fit great. Will order another when I wear this out!

Jaxon Striped Band Skimmer

By Anonymous from , NO | July 9, 2012

Extremely happy with this hat!!! Its light and flexible. Breathes very well. My grandfather wore a similar hat in the 20's and its great to see that they are still available.

Straw boater hat

By Edge from Cleveland, OH | June 28, 2012

Very nice quality, just as described. The wheat straw is light and airy, yet substantial to fit securely on the head. Wore it to a centennial celebration and received many compliments.

Great Value

By Philly Fan from Philadelphia, PE | June 13, 2012

I have wanted a boater style hat for several years now; but, just couldn't bring myself to pay as much as many of the italian/premium brands would require...I simply would never wear it enough to justify the expense. This hat has been a wonderful value for the price paid, and I am really enjoying it. As a person with a large head, having the XXL option readily available is a great benefit.

Love the skimmer

By Richard H. Wenzke from Somerdale, NJ | May 29, 2012

great goes with my 1931 model a
