Not to be left behind, the artists at 1333 Minna have come up with a cotton blend herringbone duckbill cap and named it The Call to Arms. It's a true hat of character, and has got original bird artwork on one side with a mix of subtle custom patterns and patchwork to complete the fabulous whole. Goorin creates simple and elegant lines right up there with the best of them, and both The Rain (a driver cap in poly/rayon blend) and The Douglas (an cotton-blend duckbill) are prime examples. For something a bit funkier, The Jordan is an all-cotton duckbill cap for men made truly striking through the use of alternating dark hues.

In no way am I disparaging the ivy caps in fur felt, shearling or wool, you understand. After all, the same high fashion, brand name designers are involved in the creation of these leather caps (Stetson's sumptuous Kensington springs to mind) and cashmere ivys (Wigens Olaf is a wonderful example of such excellence). However, I do admit to a special shiver of excitement when I see something as crisp as Christys' molded ivy cap in lined linen (The Darwin by name) or as sublime as The Bugatti from Borsalino, an unlined cap made from an incredibly fine blend of linen and silk. Whether your preference in ivy caps is tony Italian leather or everyday poly knit from Kangol, you'll find it here at HartfordYork.com.
