A sailor hat is also commonly known as a sailor cap or a naval cap. It is a flat-topped, circular hat with a short brim and a ribbon or strap around the base that can be tied under the chin. Alternately, it can be styled with a flat ribbon tied in a bow at the rear. Other terms for the sailor hat include a boater hat, yachting cap, or a captain's hat. These hats have been popularized both in naval settings and within the fashion industry. Regardless of the name, the sailor hat remains a timeless piece of headwear - classically stylish and iconic.
