Canvas sun and sport hats for sailing, fishing and the water
On the water, a hat must shade hard, stay on in wind, and survive spray. The boating hat stores listed here specialize in canvas: one maker builds canvas hats for sun or sport - boating, golf and protection - described as windproof and stylish across activities from tennis and fishing to biking, hiking and canoeing; another hand crafts packable canvas hats for maximum all-weather protection, in a variety of bands, colors, styles and unisex sizes, out of years of sailing and building custom marine canvas for boats.

Quaker Marine
Company : Quaker Marine began life along the docks and piers of
old Philadelphia in 1949. In those early years, traditional marine supplies
were offered to local seaman, boaters and sailors. Along the way, sometime
in the 70s, the company followed a path that almost took shape on its own
it became a nautical hat company. Joe Kadison, founder of Quaker Marine
Supply, loved hats. He designed and made hats that were grounded in the
heritage of the rugged seafaring traditions of the Philadelphia waterfront.
In time, the collection expanded into a broader range of hats appealing to a
larger group of outdoor enthusiasts such as seamen, fishermen, trekkers, and
travelers. Quaker Marine Supply Company, Inc. changed ownership in May of
2003. The new owner, Ned Kitchel, a long time sailor and fan of Quaker
Marine hats, brings 25 years of product development experience from
catalogers like L.L. Bean
and Lands' End
. Ned relocated Quaker Marine
Supply Co. closer to his home near Portland, Maine in November of 2003.

Glare on water doubles sun exposure, so boating hats use wide brims or legionnaire coverage, dark underbrims to cut reflection, and fabrics with real sun protection. Wind is the second test: chin cords, adjustable crowns and crushable canvas that can be sat on and still recover. Packable construction matters because boat storage is tight, and quick-drying canvas beats delicate straw offshore.
One maker here came to hats from building custom marine canvas - the same heavy cloth, stitching and weatherproofing discipline that keeps boat covers alive in salt and sun. That crossover explains the category's look: practical, sewn tough, and offered in unisex sizes and band choices rather than fashion seasons. Golfers, anglers and hikers buy the same hats for the same reasons.
Canvas is durable, washable, packable and weather resistant, and holds up to salt, sun and spray better than most hat fabrics. The makers here use it for maximum all-weather protection.
Look for a chin cord or adjustable drawcord, a snug crown fit, and windproof design claims - the Sport Buddy canvas line listed here is described as windproof as well as sun protective.
Yes, the hand crafted canvas listing offers a variety of bands, colors, styles and unisex sizes, reflecting that boating hats are bought for function first.
