The Spring & Summer 2009 Catalog
Boy, do we have brand name fedoras, Montecristi panama hats, men's caps from Christy's and even sun visors (with raffia brims) for you and your head! We're not just talking Borsalino dress hats and baseball caps for spring and summer wear (although we have them); and it's not just Toby Keith cowboy hats or fedoras from Indiana Jones and Stetson (although we have them too, 'cuz they're right up there in the hat stratosphere). No way! We've also got newsboys from Anthony Peto, and a new plaid linen cadet cap from Wigens that's guaranteed to blow you away. Then there's Biltmore with their perfect porkpies and you know I just had to bring back the fedoras from 1333 Minna and also to introduce their newest cotton fedora and baseball caps (and the stories behind them). And (just in case you need it), I've got The Mad Hatter top hat on standby--because you never know.

For you poolside adventure-seekers, there's the Equator line of expedition hats and then, might I suggest, Scala's Copacabana Panama, a safari hat for when you're ready to relax in style or perhaps the Natural Panama Porkpie from Makins Special Order. When a jaunt for a pint is in your day planner, don't leave without your Mourne Walker, the impeccable linen walking hat from none other than Jonathan Richard. You know I've got sun hats and visors from Helen Kaminski as well a Kangol cloche for the ladies, but I'll bet you haven't heard about their bamboo trilby--take a look, it'll make you happy.
Let the Stacy Adams and Makins collections of straw fedoras and summertime porkpies hats for men dazzle you too, with their poppin' colors and styling, and remember to visit the dress fedoras of Mr. Green Hats for a while. For a woven straw hat slightly more classic in design, there's Colonel Littleton's Lynnville Panama which, by the way, goes great with his cool collection of Americana accessories (but I digress). Go markedly Milano for authentic dress western hats, which includes The Milano Riviera a must-have masterpiece of hand-woven straw for the rancher with almost everything.
Since Borsalino makes some pretty incredible wool caps for coolish mornings, I've kept a few choice items on hand including The Ettore Newsboy (a cap I had commissioned from the Italian maestros), and the satin-lined Virgilio Dorse Ivy Cap in finely worsted wool. John B. Stetson also has masterful cooler wear caps through which you can happily browse, but I've also brought in some of their silk and linen ivy, newsboy and cadet caps for your viewing (and wearing) pleasure too. The boys at Stetson have never made choosing easy, and this season they've truly surpassed themselves!
It may not snow in July, but these days a snowball's got a pretty good chance and anyway, you'll always look fabulous in a fancy fur felt fedora from the likes of Rod Keenan.
