| Fonctions : | From reference (see below): 'A boater or hard hat (is) a man's sennit straw sailor coated with shellac from India, popular in the late nineteenth century. The English wore it punting, hence the name. In America it was worn almost universally from June first to September first. The name sennit' comes from the nautical term "seven-knit,' a method of braiding rope.' The Biltmore Hat Company was so named in 1919. Hat production began in Guelph in 1918. Biltmore Straw Hats subsidiary formed 1925. |
