What is the name of this headdress?

Looks like a straw boater to me--don't know about the oddly shaped brim, though.

It looks like a Panama hat to me. They come in several styles.

Best answer: Not a boater. Boaters have flat brims. Flat crowns, too, though it's impossible to see the top of the hat in your image, mathiu.

Best answer: I would call that a Sam Houston (sometimes called a Planter).

Best answer: Yes, I would call that a Panama Planter. There's one at the bottom of this page.
