Appearance
The Straw Boater is a flat-brimmed, flat-topped straw hat. Its band changes color to match that of the wearer's Ink, with the top and bottom edges being considerably darker. On the left side of the band is a small bow, and on the right is a tiny Skalop logo. When worn by a female the hat is at a slight angle, but on a male it is worn straight.
