Straw hats (7)

I think it could be either:

panamas

boaters

'straw hats' is the definition.
('boater' can be a synonym of 'straw hat')

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for boaters that I've seen before include "Thames travellers" , "top gear" , "straw hats?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror, the Sydney Morning Herald and The Telegraph.
