The Spring & Summer 2009 Catalog
So you want some men's hats. Good for you! Start with a dress panama hat for men, you say? Or perhaps a fedora from Italy, such as the handwoven Borsalino Fino? Are you looking for a stingy brim hat like a dress hat from Makins, the woven fiber Bleeker Street, or a crushable hat in hand crocheted raffia from Scala? Because we've got those, you know. And if you haven't picked a color, might I propose The Gustavas from Wigens, a cotton patchwork rex; however, if you are quite sure that mint green is your spring shade of choice, then I believe only The Mint Green Milan (a men's porkpie hat from Biltmore Hats) will do, much in the same way that if sunshine yellow is your selected hue, you'll do well to pick up The Fabrizio Optimo Straw Panama from none other than Borsalino. Maybe you've heard of them?

Of course, we've got fabulous baseball caps in every material, from The Stetson Chieftain in leather to Indiana Jones in cotton and the poly knit Ventair from Kangol. Summer's the time for safaris, and you won't go wrong with cloth fedoras like The Indy Weathered Hat or The Sahara Expedition from Equator. Try not to forget your Greek Fisherman cap when it's time to relax deckside--or would The Boater, a straw skimmer hat from Scala, be better? If a Milano dress western (think The Riviera Rancher) or a Stetson straw cowboy hat such as that classic, The Open Road, is your style of choice, we've got simply the best from all the industry Big Dawgs, even including that raffia lovin' Toby Keith!
I don't want to boast, but I will, because I believe this is really just the nicest selection of hat styles I've ever offered, and I'm just so gosh darn proud of myself. I mean, will you look at the fashion ivy caps, berets and newsboys on hand: there's your classic Dagmar from Wigens (of Sweden); there's that sporty Waffle from Kangol and the old-fashioned Christys' Kent Ivy; you've got your plaid, your striped (check out the Wigens Linen Ivy - The Gunnar Two), and even a seersucker newsboy cap from Wigens, in addition to The Borsalino Luigi, a mesh-lined newsboy, and some made from a blend of silk and cashmere, like The Hatteras from (surprise!) Stetson.
You know I'd sooner not wear a hat than disappoint a lady, and neither of those catastrophic events will happen anytime soon! You know why? Because I've got the most gorgeous compilation of women's hats and totes, visors and handbags, cloches and chapeaus ever -- and I've got them all from designers of unsurpassed caliber, including Helen Kaminski, John Callanan and Borsalino. You'll be delighted with the Bamboo Trilby, a real summertime fedora, and with the laid-back Adina, a Kaminski sun-hat with linen brim and crocheted raffia crown, while the six-inch brim featured in The Carolina Shade is kept from being over-powering with its lace inset trim.
Boy, I'm top hat. Now, you all go and buy some hats. I'll be off in the corner playing with the inventory--you may find me in the Exclusive to HartfordYork.com Only section.
