Order your Makins spring hat today and make a statement of style! How can you not with an honest-to-goodness textured braid fedora in olive no less, called The Astor. Like all the dress hats for men that this NYC hatter creates, it's a high-toned and truly elegant chapeau. The Bleeker Street fedora is a prime example of the excellence that is Makins. An incredibly light men's summer dress hat, it's made of strips of woven fibre sewn together into what is a remarkable creation. There's a rio braid trim and slightly turned down brim (which you can turn up porkpie style for extra attitude). The Metropolitan (another statement-making hat) is a striped Panama fedora, fashioned on wooden blocks over live steam. It's got stand-out Pampa diagonals, bound brim and starbrite trim. If you're a Panama fedora fan, the rakish design of The Woolworth will tickle your fancy at the very least. It's done up in an olive and natural jagged plaid with starbrite trim and it really is just for you.

One of my all-time favorite summer hats from Makins is The Central Park, a fabulous two tone (canary yellow and black) woven Panama, although I must admit that The Empire, a vented Panama straw porkpie (with grosgrain trim) is also close to my heart, and my hair I suppose one could add. Another straw hat, The Panama Pinch Front Porkpie II, is one of Makins perennial best sellers. It's a finely woven summer hat with a matching two tone grosgrain trim and comes in Caramel (with black dots) or Black (with caramel dots). Gosh, Makins hats even sound delicious!
