Made with more structure and a longer brim than a normal bucket hat, our Standard Sailing hat was designed to stay put whether you're on the high seas or the hard court. It is said that this QMS original was Hunter S. Thompson's hat of choice. This is an East Coast classic, also formerly referred to as the Standard Tennis Hat.
A word of caution on sizing if you're not familiar with hat sizes: Most men actually wear a size large hat instead of a medium. Just because you are a medium in pants, shirts, etc. doesn’t mean your hat size is a medium too! Please click the fit guide (above near the 'add to cart' button) for help finding your correct size.
| S (6 7/8") | M (7 1/8") | L (7 3/8") | XL (7 5/8") | XXL (7 7/8") | |
| Interior Circumference (IN) | 21 5/8" | 22 1/2" | 23 1/4" | 24" | 24 7/8" |
| Interior Circumference (CM) | 55 cm | 57.15 cm | 59 cm | 61 cm | 63.2 cm |
Don't know your hat size? Here's how to find out. Wrap a cloth measuring tape or string around your head at the point at which your hat normally sits (~ 1/2" above your ear and across mid-forehead). Pull the tape or string tightly enough to get an accurate measurement, but not uncomfortably so. Take the measurement and match it to the next largest interior circumference listed above.

"It’s a stylish hat that does protect one’s face from the sun. Well made. The crown in the white version is lightweight but substantial. More substantial still is the brim, which is not floppy as a bucket hat would be, but rather sturdy. (My only complaint is that the brim is 2. 5” wide, not 3”. ) I’ve been told I look dapper in this hat, and I plan to give it heavy use this summer."
"This is the quintessential tennis hat. Perfect - EXCEPT, I wish they would offer a smaller size for women. I had to make a fabric band inside to create a better, more snug fit."
"I wore this hat 50 years ago when I learned how to play tennis. Loved it then and love this new, sturdier version now!"
"Quality piece of traditional gear."
"Classic and unique this white knight sailing hat is an awesome addition to your sprezzatura. Love how it looks back while you’re moving forward"
"The quality of materials, the stitching and the fit are exceptional. This is a superb hat that will last a lifetime."
"The Sailing Hat is both functional and attractive. Great buy!"
"The hat is of excellent quality like back in the 70/80’s type material and construction. I will be proud to wear my hat I bought from y’all."
"Looking for a hat somewhere between all of my wide-brim sunhats and a baseball hat, this is perfection. I use it for outside work/walking during the summer"
"This hat is absolutely the BEST! I've been looking for it for ages and finally found it. Thank you, Quaker Marine Supply Company!"
